⚡ At EAG (Empresarios Agrupados - GHESA), we have been involved in more than 60 #substation projects and more than 850 km of high-voltage transmission lines, providing #engineering, #consulting and #auditing services throughout the lifecycle of electrical infrastructure. Our multidisciplinary team supports clients from initial development through to construction, commissioning and operation of power generation facilities which includes these evacuation infraestructures. We collaborate with Developers, Utilities, IPPs and EPC Contractors. 🔌 During the #development phase, we support projects from their conceptual stage to the completion of the entire administrative permitting phase. This includes conducting site characterization stuides (topography, geotechnics, hydrology, and flood risk), access and grid connection feasibility studies, basic engineering and administrative projects for permitting. 🔌 During #pre-construction phase we can work supporting Owners through optimizing projects with bid engineering, preparing equipment technical specifications and supporting them in EPC tendering and contract negotiation. 🔌 During #construction phase we can support Owners with Owner's engineering activities, monitoring supplies and factory tests and construction supervisión or alternatively, we can support EPC Contractors providing detailed engineering and all electrical studies required for the construction and commisioning of the evacuation infraestructure. 💡 We also provide technical due diligence services in the adquisitation process, through evaluation of site, enviromental constraints assesment, permits and license review, all in all, providing independent advice to mitigate potential risks. 👷 Some of the projects in which we have participated are the Substation of Canteras 30/132 kV and the HVL of Canteras – Montetorrero 132 kV of 31 km. #SomosEAG #WeAreEAG #Engineering #Energy #Electricity #Energy #ElectricalSystem

🔧 Understanding the Role of Site Utility in Construction 🏗️ Site utilities are the backbone of any construction project, ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Here’s why they’re so crucial: ✅ Infrastructure Support: Proper utilities lay the foundation for water, power, and gas systems. ✅ Safety First: Helps ensure compliance with safety regulations and codes. ✅ Long-Term Functionality: Ensures the site remains functional and efficient for years to come. 🔗 Building the right foundation for success! 🏢 #ConstructionEssentials #SiteUtility #BehmEnterprises https://bit.ly/43hIWLl

Natural gas pipeline refers to the pipeline that transports natural gas (including associated gas produced in oil field) from the production site or treatment plant to urban gas distribution center or industrial enterprise users, also known as gas transmission pipeline. Using natural gas pipeline to transport natural gas is a way to transport natural gas on land. Natural gas pipelines account for about half of the world's total pipelines. Common Safety Problems In the construction process of general natural gas pipeline, there are some safety problems in environment, construction and management, and these three potential safety hazards will be explained in detail. 1. Environmental factors The main potential safety hazard in the environment comes from the destruction of soil structure caused by the excavation of pipelines, which leads to a higher degree of soil looseness. In addition, the stacking of solid waste at the construction site, the noise in the construction process, the emission of harmful gases and so on. If bad weather or natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, debris flows, are encountered in the construction process, it will cause secondary damage to the already fragile soil, and will increase the difficulty of construction, threatening the personal safety of construction personnel. 2. Construction factors The state has formulated a set of relatively perfect construction standards for natural gas pipeline engineering, which involves specific construction technology, construction technology, operation process, etc. It can be used as a reference basis for each construction unit in the actual construction process, and can effectively ensure that the potential safety hazards are minimized. However, many enterprises fail to clarify these indicators to technicians in the construction process, resulting in frequent irregular construction, or lack of comprehensive consideration of the overall project, resulting in omissions on some details, which will bring some potential safety hazards to the follow-up construction process. 3. Management factors According to the survey, more than half of natural gas pipeline accidents are caused by poor management in the construction process. The level of management has a direct relationship with the quality of the project, and directly determines the safety factor of the construction site. Management involves all aspects of construction, from the management of construction materials, machinery and equipment to the management of construction personnel, we should pay more attention. If any one of the management is not in place, it may lead to safety problems on the construction site, especially the electricity problem on the construction site, which is closely related to the personal safety of the site personnel. It is a arduous and complicated task to manage all the elements in the whole process of natural gas pipeline construction.

Englobe UK Senior Management Team are hands on and proactive in visiting our sites, projects, and soil treatment facilities to support colleagues and the work in progress. Our commitment to safe working procedures and the welfare of our staff are paramount. At this site near Cheltenham Englobe UK were commissioned as the Design and Build Contractor to implement ground contamination remediation works at this former #Gasworks. Various phases of investigations and demolition works had been undertaken at the site and contamination was present along with remnant in-ground foundations/obstructions associated with former gasholders and infrastructure. Based on the remediation options appraisal and assessment of all available historic site investigation data, Englobe UK determined the Best Practicable Technique for the remediation to render the site suitable for a commercial/open storage end use. To facilitate these works, wider works including service disconnection (gas, electric and telecoms), ecological assessments, bat emergence surveying, bat box placement under license, building asbestos removal (licensed) and historic building demolition were required. These were all done on a highly constrained site with 2 separate site tenants and live equipment (Gas Governor, Telecoms databanks) and required detailed and proactive stakeholder engagement. #EnglobeUK #Englobe #ExcellentPeople #GreatPlaceTowork #ProudOfOurWork #WaterTreatmentServices #Remediation #RemediationContractor #SoilTreatmentFacilities #BrownfieldContracting #EnablingWorks #IntegratedEnvironmentalServices #InfrastructureProjects #CivilEngineering #HealthandSafety
