Challenges

  • FPL had a short window of time for EBI to complete the emergency repairs and get the plant back online.

Success

  • Our Non-Seg technicians were able to mobilize quickly in order to support the emergency non-seg fault.
  • The onsite proximity of the R3 Contingency Unit offered increased efficiency and communication between field installers, machinist technicians, engineers, and plant personnel while allowing onsite fabrication to be seamlessly added to the project scope and addressed in an efficient, safe and quality manner.
