Electric Gulf
Countries
Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai, UAE. Example of Handled Projects (Major Projects): Global Recall Recovery Rework (G3R) of Ringmaster Ring Main Units in Gulf Area, (EUR1.2 billion project). I was responsible for all potential quality issues involving Global Recall Recovery Rework (G3R). Managing the G3R process, evaluating the safety risks, developing, validating and implementing action plans. The Project calls for SF6 Gas Reduction & Retrofit Kits Installation of Ringmaster SF6 Ring Main Units supplied and installed in Gulf Area and replacement of ring main units that has lost gas due to a premature fracture of the safety membrane due to hot climatic conditions. Assigned and acted as project manager for the retrofit and upgrade of ring main units sold and installed in Gulf Area. Managed a group of subcontractors to carry out the works in UAE, Qatar, Oman& Kuwait.
Coordinated with electrical authorities and end users for the planned shutdown schedules to execute the modification and (or) replacement of the units. Reduced the SF6 gas fill pressure from 0.8barg (at 20C) to 0.55barg (at 20C) of Ringmaster RN2c (and RE2c, RE6c and RN6c) ring main units that were at either the customer stores or premises or installed on site. Installed outdoor and indoor venting kits for internal arc proof protection.
