overview
PITRAD Ibamba’s capabilities extend through all stages of power transmission and distribution including feasibility studies, front-end engineering, system modelling, engineering design, procurement, contract management, construction supervision and asset management.
Our capabilities in low, medium and high-voltage power have been developed and refined through research and development in association with power utilities and government authorities worldwide.
1. HV Earthing System & Lightning Protection studies
HV Earthing System Analysis Guarantees the safety and adherence to regulations of your electrical equipment.
With more than 12 years of experience in the industry, Pitrad Ibamba is dedicated to delivering thorough design studies for high-voltage earthing systems, prioritizing the safety of individuals in electrical setups while safeguarding client infrastructure and assets. Our deep knowledge in assessing, designing, modeling, and analyzing high-voltage earthing systems allows our team to ensure adherence to regulatory standards across various nations. We engage in a wide range of installations, including generation, transmission, distribution, and industrial systems, functioning from medium to high voltage. Furthermore, we tackle the serious risks associated with lightning strikes, which can threaten or damage services like utilities, inflict irreversible harm to structures, cause financial setbacks, and result in injuries or fatalities for both people and animals. Our specialists evaluate these risks to client properties and, when necessary, provide customized recommendations and designs to counteract lightning hazards in line with industry regulations.
2. Protection of Power Systems
Protecting assets and ensuring the stability of the grid.
Relay protection serves as the fundamental support for any energy system, protecting against faults and disturbances that may cause outages, damage, or even severe failures. By quickly identifying irregularities and isolating the impacted components, relay protection reduces disruptions to power flow and ensures the safety of both personnel and equipment. In the current interconnected and ever-evolving energy environment, the significance of dependable relay protection cannot be exaggerated. From averting blackouts to reducing operational interruptions, relay protection is crucial for preserving grid stability, enhancing asset performance, and protecting investments.
High Voltage Substation Design
As substations are an integral part of the transmission and distribution mix, we also have extensive experience in high and extra high voltage substation design. We specialize in planning and implementation, detailed design and construction support of substations, and procurement and project management of new substations and associated infrastructure. We advise on extensions or refurbishments of existing substations and transformer bund works.
Our expertise spans network studies, primary design, protection design, automation and control system design, primary and secondary plant design, earthing design, lighting and insulation coordination, full secondary design, engineering design coordination and project management, environmental impact assessments, transport analysis, planning of electrical networks, architectural design services, and fire engineering.
Overhead Lines and Towers / Overhead Route Design
When it comes to power lines and towers, we are at the forefront of overhead line engineering and design.
We support front-end planning and environmental issues on proposed overhead line schemes including permit applications, infrastructure and electrical systems planning, power facility design and infrastructure, and electrical networks and communication.
We have undertaken a range of activities including feasibility studies,preparation of technical specifications, conceptual and detail design, review of technical submissions, project management, and supervision of construction.
We also provide tower design and detailing services.
