Alternate Power Solutions
About The Project
The existing APU’s had reached end of life and were no longer supported by the OEM’s. BASE was hired to replace the existing APU’s and electrical systems and to improve system reliability. Outage timeline was critical and required creativity to stay on budget and schedule. BASE provided solutions for engineering, construction and commissioning to minimize risk and overall project cost that met the critical timelines.
Problem Statement
- Existing APU’s and electrical systems were obsolete
- Facility reliability was problematic due to age of equipment and unavailability of replacement parts
- Drawing information was not reliable
- Failure of secondary systems
Improvements/Results
- Updated APUs and electrical system to customer specifications, suggested alternatives for cost savings
- Created new standard electrical system drawings that were implemented as standards across the client’s system. Standard drawings were created to minimize rework across facilities, to provide high reliability and the ability for personnel to work at various facilities using repeatable systems
- Expedited equipment to ensure schedule was maintained
- Provided onsite construction review of installation and suggestions to maintain schedule
- Commissioning and start-up support
- Provided client $100,000’s in future cost savings
