Assistance in Indonesia with Audit Review of Power Station
TechSafe was recently asked to conduct a review of a power station nearing completion in Maumere which is the largest city in Flores, Indonesia.
Maumere sufered considerable damage in the 1992 Indonesia earthquake when 90% of all buildings were destroyed. Today, the priority of the local community and government is the promotion of tourism.
Reliability of power supply is a challenge in the area, with electricity outages a common occurrence. To assist with power stability, Maumere are building a 40MW diesel powered system using four generators which will contribute to the main supply for the whole island.
TechSafe were engaged to review their equipment and assist wherever possible with ensuring compliance and network stability. After reviewing all project documentation, our electrical inspector Damien Aile spent two days on the beautiful island, inspecting equipment including high voltage and low voltage switchboards, control panels and motor modules. An audit report was then provided, detailing our findings and recommendations to assist with compliance. Hopefully our involvement on this project plays an important part for the locals of Maumere enjoying what many Australians often take for granted on a daily basis — a stable supply of electricity.
