FLAGSHIP ACTIVITY

To best of our knowledge, MME-Enfras is the only company in the region which provides complete total solution pertaining to By Passing EHV Transmission Lines.Having said complete (total) solution, we must to underscore that simply possession of a or more lot(s) of ERS inventory does not guarantee an appropriate and timely solution to the requirements.Thus most of the customers in the region choose to avail our services which in turn provides a better level of comfort and relief in implementation. It is a pleasant privilege that the company had been facilitating and instrumental to make happen an ERS By Pass system, first of its kind employed in UAE to facilitate uninterrupted power supply for a 400 kV Transmission Line critical circuit.

ERS modular systems, as developed to address primarily a failed line was not exactly known in the industry (at least across Gulf) until, aforesaid application was done. MME-Enfras endeavoured to create awareness among many customers/utilities about diversified application of ERS and advantages of such use.

It may be worth mentioning, although a particular customer possessed an inventory of ERS modular system, it was found the lot fell short of certain vital elements to meet the real situation for which MME-Enfras designed substitutes/alternatives to complete the system. The debut application of such system(across Gulf region) was tailored, customized, complemented to make it complete in all respects.

Interestingly this system involved tailor made wood pole structures (Rutter pole design) and the arrangement underwent a real time test as the unexpected weather change witnessed high wind speed close to 90 kmph, eventually the By Pass arrangement sustained trouble free operation for more than two months before being dismantled.

MME-Enfras attaches high significance to optimise every age of a project whether it belongs to a permanent system (or) temporary system. Thus we offer best methods and services in respect of bidding and project management phases of a project.

Company, in association with other partners has recently embarked into EHV line maintenance including hot line repairs and maintenance (resorting to hot sticks as well as bare hand / glove methods). This includes thermal imaging, detection of clearance violation and many defects detection survey as the customer desires.

Another area MME-Enfras actively pursues is fiber optic solutions which includes retrofitting existing shield-wire or OPGW,ADSS cables as well as fiber wrapping. In depth study and engineering is performed according to customer's preferences, giving due consideration of existence features.Such studies takes care of issues such as impact on parent structure due to additions (or) modifications,working on zero (or) minimum outage,safety and security aspects etc.

Our Customers consider MME-Enfras as a solution provider to address complex arrangement, find/design substitutes to complement incomplete inventory, working with flexibility, understanding customer difficulties and in reliability. This has served as the primary reason facilitating us to enjoy continued patronage from many customers.

• Assistance to workout bidding strategy.
• Locate and line-up strategic partners including PQ complement and assist to define model of co- operation.
• Conduct Re-connaissance and report to create bid estimation input data.
• Preliminary bid purpose design - line design, structure design, foundation design etc.
• Generate enquiries on behalf of bidder, scrutinize, screen and retain the best.
• Examine Tender documents, identify ambiguities, discrepancies and seek pre-tender clarification from clients.
• Rate analysis for all cost components.
• Choose best alternatives wherever permitted.
• Cost estimation.
• Appraise options, merits available and risk involved to the bidder to decide pricing approach.
• Pricing Assistance.

SOURCING SUPPORT

While bidding support aids the bidder to bid tenders, sourcing support is meant to aid contractors to implement the contract got awarded.

Scope of outsourcing we undertake depends on nature of requirements which shall include one (or) more (or) many of below:

• Sourcing project permanent materials and special tools and plants, Example: Transmission line materials, substation materials.
• Sourcing installation sub-contractors.
• Sourcing allied services.
• Project staffing (to address all phase of project).
• Expeditious sourcing to aid delay recovery.
• Allied services.
• Sourcing for special natured projects such as Emergency Restoration By-Pass.
• Sourcing for Live line maintenance both methods hot line tools as well as bare hand method.
• Sourcing of complete overhead line construction equipments including stringing equipments of all types.
• Sourcing of Testing and Commissioning equipments.
• Sourcing Construction crew, OPGW specialist, Testing and commissioning experts.

PROCESS

It is simple that one needs to translate the design to reality through a media; in 2D drawing (Yesterday) converting all design information in easy construction language, or in 3D BIM Model (Today) virtually constructing the engineer's creation, enabling constructor to visualize, collaborate, optimize and extract every part to build it up in reality piece by piece.

Once the structure is virtually constructed with all living information of each of the components, it is the construction detailers ingenuity as to how to make the process easy to create an optimum required document to the fabricator and make his life better. We understand all the requirements of the pain areas of the constructors and the further process they need to take it through towards building the structural reality.

INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING

MME-Enfras in partnership with traditional collaborator's undertakes installation and commissioning activities when the customer request to do so.

Emphasis is made to certain specific or specialist activities as listed below:

• Complete installation of Emergency Restoration systems including supervision or providing supervision alone as the customer may desire.
• Interfacing between overhead line and substations, between overhead lines and underground cabling and substations (including erection of all substation structures and related equipment mounting).
• Sealing End compounds and equipments associate with it.
• Fiber optics installation, testing, splicing and commissioning.
• Construction of overhead line and underground cabling of any voltage. All activities can be addressed such as survey, foundation, structure erection, stringing and finalization.
• Complete construction of wood pole lines, switching stations, package substations, mobile substations.
• Hot line maintenance.

INNOVATIVE

The company attaches high importance to innovative concepts, products, design and services. MME-Enfras always encourages her staff members, partners to pursue innovation those would be beneficial to project, all stake holders and environment as a whole.

Such Innovative include:

• Designs developed and tailored to address customer's specific problems.
• Use of suitable substitutes to overcome situations such as non-availability of original proposition , to add advantages, to endure durability, to optimise either initial cost and or operation & maintenance cost, allowing provisions in stored data to accommodate future development etc.
• Designs developed to find alternatives to manage the issue with available resources; when ideal/preferred resources not available.
• Developing methods to minimise EHV (Extra High Voltage) Transmission lines outage and thus preventing huge GDP loss as well as facilitate consumer convenience.
• Develop designs and methods those are aimed to minimise environmental impact.
• Innovative concepts, methods to address complex situations involving interfacing between overhead lines and underground cabling, narrow corridors in urban & congested areas, crossing and conjunction of EHV OHLs.
• Unique and innovative methods to facilitate project management, milestone assessment, EV (earned value) tracking. Special charts and programmes are used to illustrate and achieve this objective.
• Explore and develop solutions to bridge the gap between outdated specification inherent with parameters not practical or in-conflict with ground reality.
