  The benefits wedeliver COMPLETE TURNKEY, ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT AND CONSTRUCTION (EPC) Clients reduce risk and cost through the reduction in the number of interfaces provided by UGL’s complete project solution. From a single point of contact, UGL manages entire power projects beginning with in- house engineering, procurement and construction through to start up and commissioning. Clients can take advantage of UGL’s unique blend of core competencies to allow faster completion of projects, improved performance, reduced risks and lower costs across greenfield and brownfield projects. GREATER EFFICIENCIES UGL’s power infrastructure solutions are designed to reach greater efficiencies. Clients will benefit from our ability to draw from a wide variety of leading technologies and UGL’s world’s best practice engineering capability. From flexible gas fired power plants that can meet fluctuating energy requirements to integrated transmission and distribution networks that increase power supply availability, functionality and reliability, UGL’s solutions can enable improved productivity. CLEANER POWER By integrating cleaner technologies from leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and employing the most efficient engineering solution, UGL is able to deliver power infrastructure that reduces its environmental impact. For power generation, UGL delivers gas-fired open-cycle, combined-cycle, co-generation and tri-generation power plants which are highly efficient and produce significantly less CO2 emissions. In the power transmission and distribution sector, UGL seeks to capitalise upon technological developments that are making electrical grids more capable of integrating energy from renewable sources. SOLUTIONS FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE CYCLE Committed to maintaining our partnership with clients well after a plant is commissioned, UGL has extensive experience in supplying and servicing power infrastructure. We offer comprehensive whole of life solutions for power assets that help our clients achieve competitiveness and profitability ensuring long term operational success. Whatever the application, our offerings will meet the requirements for efficiency, reliability and environmental compatibility, providing lower life-cycle costs and the best possible return on investment. INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS With the capability to deliver fully integrated energy networks, UGL provides its clients with tailor made solutions that optimise local conditions and specific business environments. Across power generation, power transmission and distribution, UGL draws from a wide body of engineering knowledge and a leading portfolio of advanced technologies to deliver a total solution. innovative TECHNOLOGY We recognise the need to partner with the world’s leading technology providers in order to deliver the most advanced solutions. Our partnerships with General Electric (GE), Mitsubishi, Siemens and Alstom amongst others, allows us to lead the way as the ‘integrator’ in the delivery of cutting edge technologies and solutions. Working closely with OEM partners provides UGL with access to an array of next generation technologies that meet the energy needs of tomorrow, from higher efficiency to fewer emissions. BUILDING LONG TERM Client RELATIONSHIPS In everything we do, we strive to build long-term relationships with our clients to ensure operational success. This approach extends to the development and wellbeing of our staff, subcontractors and suppliers. UGL strives to become an organic extension of our clients’ businesses, providing high levels of service, together with a strong client commitment and focus.

  Medium voltage substations UGLis a leading provider of solutions for medium voltage substations from complete planning to design, turnkey construction and long term maintenance. Accounting for a wide variety of factors, UGL’s substation design takes into consideration the coordinates of incoming and outgoing overhead lines, the number and location of transformers and specified voltage levels, also fundamental to switchyard layout. Our solutions have been designed with economic efficiency in mind which pays off during the entire lifecycle of the substation and ensures a number of cost benefits to the client. Every substation has been thoroughly optimised for easy operation, accessibility, safety, and dependability. Low to Meduim Voltage (LMV) Power transformers As a part of our substation offering, UGL provides expertise and targeted solutions beginning with the initial installation and on through the entire transformer service life. UGL installs rectifier transformers that are designed according to exact client specifications, taking into consideration voltage, power, system topography, and noise emission levels. Transformers are also relatively expensive long-term capital assets. With this in mind, UGL’s knowledge and services throughout the entire transformer lifecycle can make all the difference. low to medium (LMV) voltage cables Working collaboratively with clients, UGL can offer the full range of services for low to medium voltage cable systems up to 100 kV from a single source, starting with cable engineering design and construction up to the final test and ongoing maintenance after installation. Our expertise in delivering cabling solutions effectively links offshore and onshore power generation to substations and to grid networks. Specialist construction techniques for the delivery of cabling systems developed by UGL have overcome major challenges and led to significant improvements in minimising risk and maximising efficiency. Substation Control Systems The company continues to deliver proven solutions for the optimisation of electrical substation operations. UGL’s control systems division delivers an extensive range of products and services designed to enable energy providers to control, monitor and protect substations in the most effective manner possible with the lowest lifecycle cost.
