A case study about our expertise at work in the Media and Entertainment sector
Power Management Design and Build was flown out to Cyprus by the BBC for an urgent intervention they needed on the power system that supplied the British East Mediterranean Relay Station (BEMRS) at Zygi, east of Limassol. The engagement came from a recommendation made by Andy West Associates.
The transmitter station is one of the largest of its kind in the world and broadcasts programmes created by BBC World Service in London.
Daily at 1400 GMT all transmitters are required simultaneously which means the working environment had to be very carefully managed without delays in reinstating any transmitter.
The project included replacing the vacuum bottle in the GEC 11kV circuit breakers, some of which had completed over 30,000 switching cycles.
We were responsible to oversee and sign the project off on behalf of the BBC, having satisfied ourselves that the team, including Areva T&D and site personnel, had completed the works. The intervention was delivered successfully and ahead of deadline.
