Our Process

Our in-house teams carried out the project and design approval, delivery, installation, and cold commissioning. Our approach included close collaboration with the customer, managing logistics, and ensuring high-quality installation through our experienced team.

  • Customer Collaboration: Maintaining close communication and co-operation with the customer from the tender stage to completion, ensuring all requirements were met, and any concerns were promptly addressed.
  • Specification & Design Approval: Ensuring compliance with all customer requirements and industry standards by carefully reviewing and approving design specifications before proceeding to the next stages of the project.
  • Logistics & Shipping Management: Co-ordinating the transportation of the transformer from overseas, handling customs clearance, and ensuring smooth site delivery while addressing any potential logistical challenges which included managing port restrictions.
  • Delivery Coordination: Winder Power liaised with the haulier, and organised secure transport to the site, ensuring the transformer arrived safely and on schedule.
  • Project Management: We oversaw the project from start to finish which included handling customer relations to ensure design requests had been actioned by the supplier, attended regular progress meetings to ensure deadlines have been and are expected to be met. Co-operation with site and the haulier to ensure delivery requests and requirements would be considered (installation method, build-up programme, resource allocation etc). As well as the overseeing the FAT in Turkey to ensure the unit was fit to be released. Handover of pre-commissioning documents upon Winder Power completion on site.
  • Installation & Commissioning: Conducting a thorough and efficient installation process with our in-house team, followed by SAT to verify that all systems function correctly before full operation.

Outcome:

The transformer was successfully integrated into Euston Solar Farm’s infrastructure, stepping up the voltage generated by the solar panels to efficiently feed into the high-voltage grid. This installation enhances the farm’s capability to contribute renewable energy to the network, ensuring long-term reliability and efficiency.
