Challenge
A reliable power supply is vital for the Nigerian economy and with economical and logistical constraints unplanned maintenance events have a noticeable impact on the livelihood of the local communities and their economy. To minimise those risks, our Client was seeking a partner who can deliver the borescope inspections and follow-up technical review to the multiple engines spread across the country.
Solution
DeveEnergy has deployed the dedicated team to perform the inspection and utilised our in-house engineering resources to provide a detailed technical assessment of the findings and recovery guidelines and plans, where required, within hours of completing each engine inspection. We have ensured that our team deployed for the project was supporting it from the beginning to the end, providing additional reassurance of consistency and understanding of the condition of the engines.
