Our technicians are intimately familiar with process control, batch control, oil and gas gathering, mining and food service systems. In addition, each team member is proficient with high voltage terminations and power control system troubleshooting.

Whether you need to design and install a new power control system or upgrade or maintain your existing system, our team of power control experts is standing by.

What Do Industrial Controls Do?

Power control systems allow for the automation of processes or network safeguards to occur automatically, without placing humans in harm’s way. A good example would be an oil or gas pipeline that has sprung a pinhole leak.

The system would detect the leak via a drop in pressure at the sensor. This would trigger the nearby valve to close almost immediately, keeping the gas or oil leak from contaminating the environment, and creating a substantial risk to humans and wildlife.

Let’s take this a step further and say the leak is 500 miles from anywhere in the world. Without a power control system in place, someone would have to travel to the physical location and manually shut off the valve.

Several Winward team technicians have extensive experience in commercial and industrial control design, while others have had years of training and experience in the maintenance and control troubleshooting field. Whatever your needs may be, our team of specialists can design, install, upgrade, maintain or test your industrial power system.

There are two types of plant power control systems maintenance available, reactive, or proactive, and we belong to the latter. A maintenance plan that includes regular inspections, cleaning and testing will ensure your industrial plant power system—no matter the size or complexity—is operating at peak performance and efficiency.

As members of the proactive school of thought, Winward offers the following maintenance and testing services.

Plant power system preventative maintenance
VLF testing of medium and high voltage conductors
Transformer winding testing
CT testing
Power station relay testing
Transformer oil testing and service

Whether it be high voltage substation technicians or control and troubleshooting technicians, you can count on us to deliver the highest level of service possible.
