Description

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (CAVUHB) has had a contract in place for the last 16 years for a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system. Recently a new maintenance contract has been put in place with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) as they are the only provider who can undertake works due to the specialised nature of the requirement. Both of the CHP's have now exceeded a run time of 90,000 hours and therefore a major service upgrade is required. As no overhaul has been undertaken in the previous 16 years, the risk of plant failure is increasing until these works are complete. It is proposed to upgrade one of the two CHP's at present and then run the second CHP on a decreased operating load to reduce the risk of plant failure. These works have been awarded to the OEM, Clarke Energy Limited.
