Business well as our operations and maintenance teams- are up to speed with these, and with new boiler technology,” says Williams.
However, AES’ s commitment to supporting clients’ boiler operations does not stop there, as a recent boiler installation in Johannesburg recently demonstrated. When the company tasked with commissioning the boilers failed to do so, AES’ s technical and projects teams spent three weeks on site to assist. With a thorough understanding of boiler operations, AES could provide skilled resources required to get the commissioning done successfully.
The company also retains organisational knowledge by ensuring this is documented in detailed training manuals. Training on boiler technologies, occupational safety and other statutory requirements is ongoing, and includes annual evaluation and three yearly re-certification of operators across different tiers – all while the company is continuously developing new boiler skills.
In this way, Williams says that AES strives to remain abreast of the latest in global boiler technology, and to remain ahead of market demands. Often, this means partnering with clients, as was the case recently, with a company in the food sector.
Over the past six years, on behalf of this client, AES has investigated various boiler technologies and fuel sources, travelling globally to amass information and expertise.
Best practice training.“ As and when the above require local implementation, AES can manage this process, ensuring it translates into operational and productivity improvements for our client.
The high-level resources within the client’ s own technical and project teams are assured of a partner in AES that can deliver on the client’ s needs,” Williams concludes. RACA
