Power Station Capability

TNEI combines technical and regulatory expertise with an understanding of the commercial implications of energy related investment. By working closely with clients and partners we pride ourselves in using creative approaches to build in additional client value.

As part of our work within the transmission, distribution & generation sectors we are able to provide specialist electrical engineering and support into EC&I packages associated with the electrical balance of plant. We are able to offer assistance from project conception through to final commissioning:

• In the development and optimisation of technical solutions for tenders and projects.
• Participation in the supplier assessment process and technical support during negotiations with clients, suppliers and subcontractors.
• During the tendering and execution phases to ensure that E,C&I designs and specifications satisfy applicable rules, regulation codes and standards, good engineering practice whilst recognizing EHS and QA requirements.
• With suppliers and other interfaces to deliver competitive engineering documentation and solutions on time, within budget, and to contractual specifications for tendering and project execution activities.
• In undertaking technical risk assessments as part of the tender/project risk review process.
• In raising timely deviations to the contractual requirements in order to achieve margin improvements, schedule saving and risk aversion.
