Design Review & Specifications

We support Utility clients to optimize their transformer asset investment.

 

Reduce your risk, uncertainty and life-cycle cost!

Extend your Engineering!

Significant industry change over the past 2 decades

  • Manufacturers have made their processes leaner (more room for design flaws)
  • Continuous loss of direct industry experience
  • New Engineers have less opportunity to learn from long-term Engineering experience – Software training replaces human experience
  • Project management more focused on schedules than product
  • Specifications often push for more exception based solutions rather than fixed design

All these pressures, and more, drive the manufacturer into cost decisions over design.

Solutions for

  • All EHV Core and Shell
  • Transformers
  • Multi-winding System
  • Auto Transformers
  • GSU’s
  • Phase Shifting

Cost, Time & Quality

A well-organized design review, initiated by the buyer, helps the buyer regain control of their product.
We at TATC have made it our mission to help

  • Knowledge and experience
  • Industry specific specialized software and calculations tools; we confirm transformer design and expose errors in design and through the manufacturing
  • A solid and professional design review reduces the risk of issues magnified during the transformer build
  • Confirm transformers meet the technical requirements
  • Improve the design if necessary, before manufacturing
  • Confirm the capabilities of the manufacturer

Design Review is the perfect tool for risk management. It helps to

  • Clarify and understand technical requirements
  • Review the system project requirements and understand the application
  • Check if the design meets the technical requirements
  • Improve the design and improve or change the specification
  • Understand the capabilities of the manufacturer
  • And finally improve the customer supplier relationship
