Acquisition and installation of six emergency power plants of various capacities. This strategic project addresses the critical need for uninterrupted electrical supply in case of failures in the general power distribution system. The capacities of these plants are designed to provide power to key buildings within the project, thus promoting operational continuity and facility security.
The buildings benefiting from this deployment vary and range from the Government Building with a capacity of 1,000 kW to more specific facilities such as the Aeronautics Factory with 200 kW, the Training and Museum Building, the Volunteer Building, the Sports Center, and the Social Interaction Center, each with capacities tailored to their specific needs.
The execution of the work proceeded smoothly, adhering to the deadlines established in the contract and rigorously complying with national electrical standards. Equipment installation was carried out using specialized maneuvers, employing manipulators for smaller capacity plants and cranes with slings and shackles for larger equipment, ensuring safe and efficient installation.
The infrastructure associated with these plants is significant. Underground low-voltage networks were constructed using 3″ and 1″ PAD conduits, allowing interconnection from the emergency plant to transfer panels and from there to main switches. The choice of THW cables of different gauges, adapted to the capacity of each plant, ensures the efficiency and reliability of the electrical system.
The construction of reinforced concrete bases of various dimensions reinforces the stability of the plants, using high-strength concrete and reinforcement with 3/8″ rebar in a double bed in both directions. The implementation of a ground system consisting of four 3-meter-long earth electrodes, round registers, GEM, and electrolyte significantly enhances the conductivity and safety of the system. Interconnection of this system with others ensures a common ground for all equipment.
It not only included connection and commissioning but also training for the user area personnel. This training covered everything from basic equipment operation to detailed recommendations for preventive maintenance, contributing to optimal operation and extended lifespan.
To support the investment, complete technical documents were provided, detailing the necessary information to address any difficulties or malfunctions. Additionally, a 12-month warranty is provided from the receipt of the plants, backed by a protocol integrated into the documentation.
In conclusion, this project represents a milestone in the modernization of the Military Industry, strengthening its energy resilience and ensuring operational continuity in critical situations. The implementation of state-of-the-art emergency plants not only meets national standards but also establishes a new standard of excellence in the energy management of critical facilities. Attention to detail, compliance with regulations, and comprehensive training demonstrate an unwavering commitment to safety and operational efficiency in the Military Industry of Oriental, Puebla.
