Hayward Tyler deliver latest High Integrity Gate Valves for London Ring Main

Hayward Tyler Services, part of the Hayward Tyler Group, has successfully delivered a new High Integrity Gate Valve to Hampton Water Treatment Works in London.

During the late 1980's and early 1990's Hayward Tyler manufactured and delivered a total of 38-off 1800mm High Integrity Gate Valves to various Thames Water Utilities Ltd (TWUL) sites for the 80km long London Water Ring Main of which 31 were installed and one was stored as a spare. The ring main ensures that drinking water is maintained and distributed around London. Along the length of the main are strategically placed 'pump out' shafts and stored water shafts where water is pumped directly into the local distribution systems. It is at these shafts that the HIGV's are located within the main.

In 2006 Hayward Tyler were contacted by several contractors with regard to the possible supply of some new HIGV's for an extension to the existing ring main - Brixton Water Treatment Works to Honor Oak Reservoir and a new pump out shaft at Hampton Water Treatment Works. Hayward Tyler made the valves to the same specifications as the originals, as required by TWUL.

Hayward Tyler completed negotiations with the two successful Contractors, Black & Veatch (Hampton) and Morgan Est (Brixton/Honor Oak)for the refurbishment of the original spare valve and the supply of four new valves.

The refurbished valve was delivered to site in March 2009 with the first 'new build' valve being delivered in May 2009. The remaining valves will be dispatched in Autumn 2009.

Peter Gilman, Project Engineer, Hayward Tyler Services commented

"Working in the Hayward Tyler Heritage Product Team we are able to react quickly to customer requirements. We can supply like for like replacement equipment and spare parts for Hayward Tyler products spanning more than sixty five years. Our success in securing these contracts demonstrates our continued commitment to customers both here in the UK and worldwide.

Nuclear Build Challenges Event

According to the World Nuclear Association, at least 130 new nuclear reactors will be built by 2030. In May 2007, 30 new nuclear reactors were under construction throughout the world. The greatest amount of new capacity is being built in India and in Russia. In France, the nuclear fleet is due to be gradually renewed in the 2020s. The third generation of nuclear reactor technology is under construction at Olkiluoto and at Flamanville. Many other industrialized countries have developed a new interest in nuclear energy too. In the UK alone the nuclear industry is worth in excess of £20billion and the delivery of a new fleet of nuclear power plants in the UK by 2018 will only be a reality if the right construction choices are made.

But what does the nuclear industry require from the construction industry in order to build the next generation of nuclear build?

VIBevent’s inaugural conference “Nuclear Build Construction Challenges 2009” has been designed to address the main issues associated with the construction of the next nuclear power generation by bringing together architects/designers/engineers and key nuclear industry players on an unique platform. The programme will discuss the blue print challenges of the next generation of nuclear power plant, from the design to the construction phase.

For the first time, global construction and nuclear industry key players will be able to meet, network, debate, share best practices and discuss the lessons learnt from current and previous projects.

Hayward Tyler will be sponsoring this important event and look forward to playing a part in the future of nuclear power technology.

BCP complete overhaul of BCP's in record time

Hayward Tyler Services Division has just completed the onsite overhaul of four Hayward Tyler Boiler Circulation Pumps (BCPs) at a coal-fired power station in the Philippines – in record time, minimising plant downtime for the customer.

In March 2008, Hayward Tyler Service Division (HTS) completed the onsite mechanical and electrical overhaul (including stator rewind) of two BCPs in just 35 days. The prompt and professional approach shown by HTS sales and service engineers on these first two BCPs resulted in the customer requesting a further two BCPs to be overhauled later in 2008. The overhaul of these two additional BCPs was completed very recently in a 40-day period. This is some achievement when you consider that a typical mechanical overhaul of one BCP, including electrical rewinding, normally takes 30 days to complete.

This type of onsite overhaul work depends heavily on the availability of spares at the site. The procurement of spares alone can take 10 to 14 weeks. Through excellent teamwork, spares were procured by HTS in just eight weeks, enabling onsite work to progress as planned.

The Masinloc Coal-fired Power plant (Masinloc CPP) is a 600MW power plant located in Masinloc, province of Zambales (Island of Luzon). Masinloc CPP installed BCPs from Hayward Tyler back in 1996. The power station, which is now owned by Masinloc Power Partners Co. Ltd (MPPC), a subsidiary of The AES Corporation of the US, was originally a government-run facility. A lack of expenditure on planned maintenance prior to the takeover by AES meant that the BCPs had been poorly maintained.

On site, there are two boilers and seven Hayward Tyler BCPs, each boiler nominally requiring three BCPs, with an additional BCP as standby. Before HTS conducted the first overhaul and rewind work in March 2008, the remaining BCPs had been running continuously for a number of years. With a lack of any planned maintenance, the number of pumps in service was, in some cases, reduced to just two pumps per boiler, rather than the nominal three pumps. The overall condition of the units had therefore deteriorated and had run into a state of disrepair.

According to Anil Patel, Export Sales Engineer at HTS, “This, in effect, had reduced the output of the Masinloc power plant significantly, which in turn equated to lost revenue. Therefore, any attempt at scheduling in planned maintenance was given low priority and outages were deferred.”

“The AES takeover period was controlled but added a further period of time during the condition of suspension, which allowed a further degradation in the condition of the plant. However, provision and coordination with AES, the new owners, enabled the rapid release of orders and financing to initiate the supply of goods and services from HTS to support the extensive maintenance programme that followed the handover,” added Patel.

Paul Green, Maintenance Manager at AES commented, “AES was delighted by the prompt and professional approach demonstrated by HTS Sales and Service teams on the first overhaul, resulting in the overhaul of two further units more recently. We would like to thank HTS for the excellent job they have done in supporting our power station, which is now operating at increased output levels since the overhauls.”

Hayward Tyler rotating equipment service centres are capable of providing outage, repair, overhaul and test services for boiler circulating pumps, subsea motors, submersible pumps, canned pumps and steam turbines, from a wide variety of manufacturers and industries.

HTS offers high quality workmanship and rapid response times for the service and repair of almost all types and makes of rotating equipment, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Services provided include: canned and wet motor overhaul and rewinds; pump, submersible pump and general purpose steam turbine overhauls; large in-house resource centres; welding; balancing; machining; comprehensive engineering review; and material, performance and reliability upgrades.

Hayward Tyler successfully deliver the world's largest Subsea Motors

 

Hayward Tyler Ltd, a leading manufacturer of pumps and motors for the power and oil and gas industries, has announced that it has now delivered three of the largest subsea motors ever built. The 2500 kW subsea motors were ordered by Aker Kvaerner Subsea, a leading provider of surface and subsea solutions for the oil and gas industry, to drive their seawater injection pumps on the StatoilHydro Tyrihans project in the Norwegian Sea. The motors have been developed in close cooperation with Aker Solutions.

The qualified Hayward Tyler design for the 2500 kW variable speed, super synchronous motor will operate at speeds ranging from 2500 to 4000 rpm.

The subsea motors will have increased insulation (11 kV) to accommodate the electrical challenges faced by the world’s largest subsea motor and longest step out (31,4 km) from the Kristin platform.

Mark Wood, Group Sales and Marketing Director, Hayward Tyler stated "We are proud to have built and delivered these extraordinary motors and to be involved in such an important project. Building the motors is a significant achievement for Hayward Tyler in terms of technical challenges and engineering capabilities and we look forward to the new challenges that lie ahead to further develop our motor technology”.

HT wins British Award

Hayward Tyler Ltd, a leading manufacturer of pumps and motors for the power and oil and gas industries, has won a British Business Award 2008 for its work in China.
