At JEP, education is a pivotal part of our CSR Portfolio, as such, we strongly endorse students dedicated to achieving the highest level of education. In July, JEP sponsored the Annual GSAT Awards for the top performing students in North Central St. Catherine. Led by M.P. for North Central St. Catherine, Natalie Neita Headley, the GSAT Awards in this division has been impacting the lives of students for the past 11 years. JEP has been supporting this initiative for over six years which has assisted in ensuring that students access a good education. This year, we contributed J$300,000 to the success of the Awards Ceremony.

Operations & Maintenance

Doctor Bird DG Set #9: Back in Operation, Safe and Sound. On February 08, 2018, an inspection of the DG set #9 (following a trip of the unit) revealed the Doctor Bird team’s

worst fears- the unit had developed a crack in its crankshaft during operation. The implication was instant and immediate in the minds of all. First, to replace a crankshaft, the unit would have to be stripped and rebuilt- a job that could take between 4-6 months and secondly; the sourcing, procurement and the delivery of the crankshaft was expected to take several months. The cost implication of a new crankshaft, liquidated damages, labour and other financial needs were exorbitant. Moreover, the plant had a Dependable Capacity Test (DCT) pending, making the risk of a significant financial impact even more probable. Soon, a Wartsila inspection team visited the site but had no better news to offer. With the inevitable apparent, the project

was charged to Acting Technical Services Manager, Conrad Miller, who was tasked with overall coordination/management of the unit’s restoration. The project lead said the story that followed was one of several challenges, twists and triumphs, and that the project (which saw its conclusion on July 22, 2018) was made possible solely through the support and determination of many key persons spanning the various departments across the JEP organization. Despite still having to perform their substantive roles, the core project team members were required to attend a daily meeting to help coordinate the following needs: • Parts acquisition, tracking and clearance (Purchasing,

informed, there were several key positives that arose from the project. The two main highlights identified were: â&#x20AC;˘

No injuries to personnel or damage to equipment occurred during the repair.

â&#x20AC;˘

There were several innovations by the team to make the repair possible given the small spacing and barge peculiarities. For example, Conrad mentioned that the O&M team designed a metal structure to hold the charge air cooler housing in place during the jacking of the engine. This avoided the need to remove the cooler housing entirely, which would have been risky and complicated. Lifting a cracked crankshaft was also risky, and for that, the team designed a heavy-duty clamp to prevent separation of the crank during the lift.

Machining of engine block In the aftermath of this costly undertaking, the JEP team, of

course, still needs to determine the root cause of this failure. The ultimate aim of which, is to prevent a repeat at any of the three power plants. A big thank you again to all for the tremendous support in getting the DG set #9 back to full operational health.

On July 21, 2018, Bamboo Beach Club welcomed the friends and families of JEP and WKPP to celebrate our annual Family Fun Day. After months of promotions and planning, the Welfare Committee worked tirelessly to execute the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tropical Blissâ&#x20AC;? themed event. Prior to the fun-filled day, members of the JEP/ WKPP were encouraged to attend via weekly email blasts, meetings and the in-house made tropical photo booth at each location, which created a buzz and sparked interaction among employees.

Issue 19

On the day, staff came out in their numbers, a recordable high to date, resulting in the ordering of extra buses, food and armbands to cater to the high demand. Our Family fun day is a time to celebrate unity and camaraderie among one another; activities included tug of war, dance/deejay competitions, games for children and boat rides. Employees, along with their family and friends, also indulged in delicious cuisine and drinks, enjoyed a swim and the ambience of the beach by relaxing on the comfortable beach chairs provided.
