OPaL inaugurates Central Workshop Building
The Central Engineering
Department of OPaL has achieved a significant milestone with the establishment
of the Central Workshop Building. This state-of-the-art facility was officially
inaugurated by Shri Gurinder Singh, Managing Director on the auspicious
occasion of Buddha Purnima on 5th of May, 2023. The inauguration ceremony was
graced by esteemed dignitaries including Shri Arup Jhampri, COO-OPaL, Shri
Vikas Agrawal, Head of Maintenance, and other HODs. The presence of all Plant
Operation In-charges and Maintenance Leads made the event even more meaningful,
symbolizing the collective commitment to the successful implementation of this
initiative.
The Central Workshop comprises
three integral sections: the Mechanical, Electrical, and Instrumentation
workshops. The Mechanical Workshop is well-equipped with a Machine Shop,
Valve/PSV Overhauling & Testing Facility, and Mechanical Seal Lapping &
Testing Facility. The Instrumentation workshop houses a state-of-the-art
Control Valve overhauling & testing setup with a PLC-based test bench and
an advanced Instrumentation lab. The Electrical workshop offers comprehensive
motor overhauling and testing services, along with a 90 KW electric oven
facility.
During the fiscal year 2022-2023,
the Mechanical Central Workshop efficiently handled a total of 6,742 jobs, even
while utilizing the available temporary workshop facility. In addition to its
core operational duties, the workshop played a crucial role in cost reduction
through the internal development of spare parts. Impressively, this effort
resulted in significant cost savings of Rs. 91.2 Lacs during FY22-23. The
workshop accomplished this remarkable achievement by implementing new spare
parts valued at Rs. 96.8 Lacs, while keeping the manufacturing cost, including
manpower, material, and power expenses, to a mere 5.6 Lacs.
The successful establishment and operation of
the new Central Workshop Building serve as a testament to OPaL's unwavering
commitment to excellence and efficiency in its technical operations. It is a
remarkable milestone that reflects the dedication and collective expertise of
the entire team in contributing to the company's continued success and grow.
