Nuclear power energy, touted as the cleanest and most reliable power source today, is experiencing a renaissance that will immensely contribute toward meeting the spiraling global energy supply demand. However, power outage management is vital for nuclear power plants to generate maximum power and run uninterrupted.
Electrical Builders Incorporated (EBI), the nation’s premier specialty electrical and welding service provider, brings unmatched expertise in delivering just that. Carrying nearly 50 years of experience in providing exceptional service to the nuclear power generation industry, EBI’s expertise shortens outage times, ensures quality, and safely extends the life of critical electrical assets.
“We leverage our experience of successfully completing over 3,800 projects to help maintain, inspect, and ensure the critical electrical assets and non-redundant components of power plants operate safely and efficiently, by implementing proven system assessment and asset life extension solutions” says Jessica Netter, President and Partner of EBI.
EBI specializes in servicing the MV/HV electrical bus duct system and related components—the lifeline of the power system between the generator and the transformers. If it fails, there isno redundancy or quick fix as this critical electrical system is custom-made for each power plant. EBI shortens outage time by applying multiple aftermarket solutions and providing onsite fabrication services for discovery items and other critical components during an outage or in the planning stage.
EBI’s foundation is anchored on the principle of continuous improvement. An ISO 9001 quality-certified company, it was the first to introduce environment-friendly cryogenic cleaning to remove dirt, debris, and contaminants from isolated phase bus duct systems and components without leaving residues or damaging equipment.
For easy inspection and maintenance throughout the length of isolated phase bus duct systems, EBI has developed proprietary access ports that can be installed on an aftermarket basis. These large ports come fitted with a removable cover, allowing easy internal access for visual inspection, cleaning, and proactive maintenance.
However, what steals the show for EBI is its state-of-the-art solution, Mobile R3 Contingency Unit. A 53-foot mobile machine shop and fabrication facility, the R3 is specifically designed for the power generation industry to carry out fabrication, refurbishing, and repair of electrical isophase, segregated, and non-segregated bus duct systems as well as transformer termination compartments and related components in the field, at the powerhouse location.
Onsite fabrication eliminates transit times and shipping delays while enhancing communication between field technicians, fabricators, machinists, site engineers, and project personnel. The R3’s round-the-clock availability is a savior, especially during an emergency when components to be replaced are known only during discovery and must be quickly fabricated.
In addition, EBI innovatively tackles the failures in electrical bus duct systems that primarily stem from a lack of proper maintenance, poor design, low quality installation or repairs. It is often seemingly small issues that can quickly catapult into major system problems when repairs and maintenance are performed by inexperienced personnel. EBI is able to refurbish existing systems and fabricate replacement parts in a fraction of the time that full system replacement requires.
At a time when the industry is replete with new talent without much experience, the EBI team fills critical roles in a client’s outage planning process, guiding, and educating them through the execution stages. It applies its expertise and knowledge and replicates best practices from the best-performing plants for the entire fleet.
At EBI’s core is an amazing team anchored on the golden rule of treating every stakeholder in the ecosystem like they would want to be treated and going the extra mile to nurture a long-lasting relationship with clients. A proud veteran and woman-owned company, EBI firmly upholds workplace diversity and seeks to collaborate with other innovative women-owned businesses.
Deploying EBI as their specialty electrical and welding contractor of choice, power generators can rest assured that every pre-emptive measure is in place to maximize plant uptime and electrical asset life extension.
