Power Operation, Maintenance And Commissioning

Power Plant Commissioning

Fairtex group partner with EGYPTROL and has long experience in commissioning different types of power plants i.e., thermal power plants; simple cycle power plants and combined cycle power plants. Our commissioning activities include commissioning of the following power plant main systems and equipment:

• Gas and Steam turbine electromechanical systems commissioning.


• Boiler or HRSG electromechanical systems commissioning.


• Balance of Plant Preparation of commissioning procedures.


• Water treatment systems commissioning.


• Electrical and mechanical Equipment inspection.


• Electrical and mechanical equipment pre-commissioning and commissioning.


• Interfacing, signaling, grounding, wiring continuity and loop check.


• Protection relays testing and validation.


• Field instrument calibration and loop check.


• DCS, SCADA and PLC systems logic and functional testing and validation.


• Hydro and pneumatic tests.


• Piping flushing and blowout (air and steam).


• Alignment of rotating machines (pumps, fans etc.

Substation Commissioning

Fairtex group partner with EGYPTROL and has long experience in commissioning of all components of up to 500KV (GIS) & outdoor (AIS) Substation; our commissioning activities include commissioning of the following substation main systems and equipments:

• Circuit breaker testing (function, timing, contact resistance, contact travel distance).


• Power transformer up to 500MVA and 500kV testing (insulation resistance, ratio, vector group, DC winding resistance, tan delta, frequency resonance analysis, oil testing...etc.)


• Shunt reactors, capacitor banks & auxiliary transformers.


• Current and potential transformers testing.


• All components of up to 500KV (GIS) & outdoor (AIS) sub-station.


• Cables continuity, insulation resistance and HV test as applicable.


• AC distribution board, DC distribution board, neutral ground NGR. Resistance & ring main units RMU.


• Relay & control panels, fault and sequence of event recorder.


• Systems interfacing, stability, scheme, function and overall interlocking.


• Relay & control panels factory testing, site training and factory training.


• Grounding system testing.


• Cables high voltage test up to 33KV.


• Fire fighting and HVAC system.


• DCS, PLC and SCADA systems.

Testing and Instrument Calibration

To complement our commissioning activities, we have a comprehensively developed and maintained electrical testing equipment and instrument calibration that covers testing of:

• HV (GIS) and (AIS) substation equipment up to 500KV.


• Power transformers.


• DC, UPS, and battery systems.


• MV/LV switchgear.


• Temperature and pressure instruments.


• Control and PSV valves
