Project Spotlight: Emergent IPB Fabrication & Repair

By September 22, 2022 November 1st, 2022 Blog, Projects
In this week’s Project Spotlight, we look back at an isolated phase bus (IPB) system that required emergency response due to an unexpected failure. EBI’s highly skilled technical team mobilized to site within 24 hours to assess the damages and formulate a repair plan that minimized downtime, saving the plant time and money.
EBI’s scope included:
– Evaluation and removal of damaged components.
– Extensive drafting and print generation due to lack of existing drawings.
– In-field refurbishment and silverplating of contact surfaces.
– Emergent, ‘round the clock fabrication and installation of bus, doghouse, NRG cabinet, and enclosure assemblies.
– Thorough cryogenic cleaning of the existing IPB from the disconnect to generator.
– Supply and installation of gasket material, braids, and hardware as needed.
-Final fit-up and weld out.
