Located in Lincolnsire, South Humber Bank is a gas-fired power station.
The plant draws cooling water from the adjacent River Humber and generates 15.75kV for the National Grid. In addition to water cooling, the site also has a cooling system powered by hydrogen gas.
The Project
The requirement was for a system replacement, whilst retaining the original rack enclosures to house the new modules. The site required a 15 zone Public Address/General Alarm (PA/GA) system to be installed as a de-centralised network.
Additional Project Requirements
- Original rack enclosures to be retained for the new system installation.
- Full site survey, including cabling, rack locations and viability for swap-out.
- Health & Safety and risk assessment.
- Consultation with all parties concerned for system requirements, day or night works and preferred completion dates.
- Plan for works prepared and RAMs documents issued.
- End user and customer updated at all times.
- Project completed over two phases as requested by the end user.
Cost Effectiveness
