Work History (Centrica Storage Ltd)

Mar06 - Present Electrical Commissioning Engineer

I was seconded in March of this year to commission the electrical systems on the Langeled Receiving Facility in Easington. This is the gas reception terminal for the North Sea pipeline coming in from the Orman Lange field in Norway. The system comprises of two 11kV feeders from the YEDL, 11kV transformers, 2MW generator, UPS systems, intelligent motor starters, and state of the electronic programmable protection relays all of which are connected to the DCS system via serial communication links. This commissioning phase also involves coaching technicians and authorising them for isolations and HV switching.

On completion of commissioning we had to incorporate the new terminal into the existing CMMS MAXIMO operated by Centrica Storage Ltd.

2005 - Present Electrical Engineer

CSL operates the Rough gas storage facility in the Southern North Sea and the Easington onshore gas processing terminal in East Yorkshire. Rough is a partially depleted gas field, converted to a storage facility, approximately 18 miles off the east coast of Yorkshire. It is currently the largest gas storage facility in the UK.



My normal day to day role within Centrica Storage involves technical support to the Easington Gas Terminal, Langeled Receiving Facility Gas Terminal and two offshore gas platforms 47/3B and 47/8A. Other duties include providing technical discipline input to the MoC system, authorising technicians for isolation and HV switching, provide technical input to new projects working along construction project Engineers, auditing and continuously monitoring our CMMS system MAXIMO.

Work History (Nippon Gohsei UK)

2003 - 2005 Electrical Engineer

Nippon Gohsei UK is a Japanese based chemical company manufacturing plastics and polymers for various products around the world. They built their newest and largest plant at Saltend Hull and were a major investment in the UK by a Japanese company. The plant is designed to produce 15,000 tonnes per year on EVOH.



I was appointed Electrical Engineer during the construction phase and assisted the construction by offering advice and instruction on IEC and UK standards for installations in hazardous areas. After construction I led a team of electrical personnel to commission the Electrical systems and equipment on the plant. Systems and equipment included gas insulated high voltage switchgear (33kv), HV transformers, HV motor starters, power factor correction, Motor Control Centres, UPS systems, fire alarm system, motors, lighting, variable speed drives, trace heating, HVAC, automated bagging machine and other general systems found in an industrial environment.

With us being a new company in the UK we also had to develop from scratch maintenance policies along with safety rules, standards, procedures and setting up of our Computerised Maintenance Management System, MAXIMO.
