Alstom has launched its new mobile facility for transformer on-site repair, refurbishment, redesign and high voltage test in Jebel Ali, Dubai. It includes a mobile enclosure to repair active parts of transformers in a controlled environment, better drying equipment and a container-sized high voltage testing module for diagnostic and repair. Large power transformers and special transformers of all type and origin, up to 400kV and 500 MVA, can now benefit on site from this facility, dedicated customers in the Middle East and nearby regions. The new facility will help customers decrease outage and down time compared to other options eliminating costs and risks related to heavy transport.

The mobile workshop and dedicated team offer an alternative solution to failure or poor transformer performance issues. It is supported by Alstom’s power transformer know-how and experience.

The Petroleum Development Oman, a hydrocarbon exploration and production company, has signed for a $1 million contract to rewind a rectifier transformer at site. This is the first contract.

Hamed Heyhat, Alstom’s regional managing director for Grid Service, said, “Proximity is essential for ensuring optimal performance of our customers’ assets. Bringing the best of Alstom's technical competence on site, for a key asset like transformers, will deliver a quick and accurate response to customer needs in the region”.

Alstom Grid gives services to optimise the electrical infrastructure, raise return on investment, and perk up the lifecycle cost of existing electrical grids. Teams offer service expertise in network design and asset consultancy, condition-monitoring asset management, predictive maintenance, emergency support, or long-term service contracts.
