Advanced PROJECT PROCEDURES & SITE OPERATIONS

Wärtsilä needed its eight W31SG flagship engines to be partlydismantled for transportation purposes and assembled backat site in Dresden in Germany for important power plantdelivery. Proactor provides the needed project managementflexibility and assembly capability to perform the work.

Proactor plans the site works together with the Wärtsilä’s project delivery organization. At the same time, we act as an important link in project delivery by solving challenges while making customer operations more efficient. “One important goal during this project is to create advanced project procedures that optimizes the customer operations in these special projects where end-to-end delivery is required.” says Teemu Rinne, Proactor Project Manager and Development Manager.

The mechanical assemblers are very focused on being involved with the whole endto-end project scope. The planning of the site operations were already performed proactively by the Proactor project team on the domestic side to secure that all operations at the site will run as smooth as possible. For example, the handheld tools and special tools were identified and ordered together with the customer. In late October, Proactor team was ready to face the challenge abroad.

Proactor site operations in Dresden include installation of generators and engines onto common base frame and assembly of the turbochargers. Proactor also supported the definition and planning of the QA tools and procedures which are used to comply with customers' requirements. OHS regulations and practices are an integral part of project planning and all safety measures are high on the agenda throughout the project also from the end customers' point of view.

This project is a great example of the value Prohoc as a group can bring by combining its decades of experience from sites around the world to Proactor's advanced manufacturing services.

Proactor’s services include fixed cost manufacturing services, product industrialization services and various project management, DFMA and manufacturing improvement services. Proactor is currently working with Wärtsilä in close partnership. The scope includes the delivery of engine type W20, engine modules for Vaasa-based engine types W20/W31/W32/W34 and most finishing activities after test run. Furthermore, special project deliveries, that require project management capabilities, have been a big part of the early co-operation with Wärtsilä.
