We define the different areas of the installation that make up the project after reviewing the conceptual engineering and the needs. We carry out feasibility studies or basic specifications. Analyzing the nature of the processes, environmental or economic conditions, we elaborate the studies, calculations or initial specifications, of vital importance to have a solid platform for the development of the projects. In this area, the main services provided are the following:

• Preparation of technical documents or “bases”. Our engineers carry out a study of the requirements of the project defining the basic characteristics of the necessary equipment and systems.

• Review and update of conceptual engineering.

• Basic design and operation criteria.

• Single-line diagrams with the electrical calculations that validate it (current and voltage transformers, load flow, short circuit, study of protections, coordination of insulation, sizing of cables and busbars, etc.)

• Technical specifications of equipment, systems and auxiliary services.

We are fully convinced that the quality and precision of detail engineering are the best basis for achieving the project’s objectives, avoiding problems in the development and commissioning phases. Quality engineering helps reduce execution times, testing and commissioning, minimizing the risks of unforeseen situations. In this sense we can offer:

• Review of basic engineering.

• Realization of electrical and control schemes.

• Preparation of interconnection and connection diagrams.

• Design of electrical conduits and detail plans of the facilities.

• Design and calculation of industrial lighting installations.

• Design of grounding networks.

• Sizing of auxiliary services.

• Design and dimensioning of control and power cabinets.

• Calculation of protection equipment adjustments.

• As-Built plans of the facilities once the work is finished.

• Protocols for testing components and commissioning procedures for plants and substations.

Substation – Renace II hydropower plant, Guatemala

Our staff has extensive experience in the design, programming and adjustment of electrical protection systems for various industry sectors, especially in the energy generation and distribution sector in which we have developed more than 100 projects in the last 20 years.

We work with the main manufacturers of protections, such as: ABB, SCHNEIDER, ALSTOM, SEL, SIEMENS, GE, etc.

We have programming and diagnostic tools, as well as advanced tools and simulation equipment that allow us to carry out a complete set of tests in the factory, guaranteeing a high quality of the developed systems.
