The Voltex Group assist Project or Asset Managers of large power systems to deliver certainty of outcomes that meet quality, timing and price objectives.
We tell you what you need to know, NOT what you might want to hear.
Where there may be projects or plants in distress, due to unclear scope, team dysfunction or misaligned culture, we assist in replacing these with clearly defined outcomes, and teams that are efficient, effective, autonomous and integrated, through a supportive environment and culture.
The key to success for any project is to ensure the right People, Partners, Processes and Perception. With the world revolving on just-in-time manufacturing and supply, you cannot afford to miss anything critical. Major components such as generators and supply transformers can be on really long lead times, so once you reach FID, the clock is ticking. You now need world-class Project Management.
Sourcing the right people begins with recruitment. You may already have a team in place, in which case, they require assessment. An assessment of proficiency may lead to a gap analysis, and require specialist training to close the gaps. Personnel in Project Management, Design, Construction, Commissioning or Operation and Maintenance may require support in order to deliver continuous improvement and to sustain growth and achievement for both the individual and the organisation.
Partners must be selected based on performance, but also local knowledge of regulations and standard practices, as well as expectations of the client. They need to be able to demonstrate a history of successful delivery, in addition to supplying sufficient key personnel with the appropriate experience.
Your own internal processes start with clearly defined objectives and scope of work. Detailed planning and scheduling should address critical paths and choke points that may inhibit performance. Accurate reporting and tracking are essential, and only effective when staff have the confidence of a supportive environment and culture, that allows mistakes and delays to be corrected rather than covered up.
By following these methods, your team and company will develop and sustain an industry reputation of successful delivery and ongoing compliance of major plants or projects on time and on budget.
When outsourcing new plants or upgrades to external consultants, design input specification and review are critical. Many companies today engage external consultants to design entire new plants or upgrades to existing facilities and the requisite power systems. In a survey of stakeholders of major infrastructure projects, respondents considered their project was sufficiently scoped only 20% of the time, where end users were not engaged in the project prior to going to ma

The best-designed HV protection systems are only effective if the installation, wiring and parameter settings are checked and confirmed during HV Testing and Commissioning. Voltex Power Engineers then continue to provide annual HV testing of the protection relays and other equipment as usually recommended by manufacturers, and this is often mandatory to ensure the components remain operational. Voltex Power Engineers are experienced with the following protection relay ma
