Aberthaw Award: Teamwork at its best
The first of three replacement high efficiency
International class boiler feed pumps is being installed by
Weir P&I Services Ltd at Aberthaw power station near
Cardiff South Wales. All work installing the first unit is planned
to be complete during a 48 day programme. A second pump is to be
installed between June and July this year with the third unit
following on in April 2008. WES are not only responsible for the
pump installation but for the modifications to the pipework and
civil work as well.
The existing units, supplied by The Harland
Engineering Company in 1964, are being replaced, but the existing
gearboxes and booster pumps will be retained for use with the new
equipment.
“Being a retrofit installation rather than a
green field site has called for a number of innovative
modifications to the design of the pumps and associated equipment”
said project manager Andy Wagstaff. “Communications and idea
exchanges between the two companies have worked well and the
project should be completed on schedule”
