Our industries

Shipbuilding and Ship Repairing

UPR supports new build of vessels where shore power is unavailable. Power can be used for a long host of equipment applications such as for compressed air and welding of steel plates, short blasting and spray painting, lifting of heavy items and others.

For completed vessels, UPR provides load testing services to confirm the performance of the large capacity turbines installed on board. These turbines may be rated at different voltages, depending on the types of vessels built and their uses. UPR’s load banks can be connected with our purposeful designed transformers for the test. Our testing capacity for vessel turbines exceed 70MVA and that is sufficient for all types of special purpose vessels like drilling rigs, semi-submersibles, FSO, FPSO.

UPR also participated in the power supply of some 17MW of power for the Hanjin New shipyard at Subic Bay, Philippines in 2007/8 during its initial phase of the construction of the shipyard.

Offshore Services

Many offshore platforms need rig safe generators to support requirement during shut down maintenance of its turbines or for additional power when more facilities are being added to the platforms.

Uniqueness of UPR Generators

• Certified for DNV 2.7-1 lifting
• Integrated power system with inbuilt radiator & exhaust silencer
• Inbuilt fan cooling system for genset
• Heat & flame detection facilities
• CO2 fire extinguishing system
• Efficient engine & alternator for long lasting offshore environment
• Simple control system for complex environment
• Support of electrical panels and cables on site

The UPR offshore power system is efficient and cost effective. It is available on short notice and supported with qualified personnel who are permitted to work in the offshore environment.

Note: Optional services are subject to specification confirmation

International Events & Sports

UPR is renowned for its participation of a number of key international events in the region. It took on the challenge to provide and manage the power supply for the “F1 Formulae Night Race” in Singapore for 5 consecutive years, the Singapore National Parade Power Management contract for 12 years, 1st and 2nd Youth Olympic games in Singapore and Nanjing, China respectively. Other important events namely are the 28th SEA Games, Asian Games, Universiade Inter-University Competitions.

Key activities include:

• Power and solution design packages to the event organisers
• Cable laying and site co-ordination
• Provision of Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), Manual Transfer Switch (MTS), UPS, Static Transfer Switch (STS), Electrical panels, cable trays.
• Site supervision & experienced technicians 24/7 support
• Ensure uninterrupted power delivery and quality performance for the event.

Power Plant & Utilities Services

Support clients’ needs on temporary and permanent power on base load or on island mode operation. This operation is common in supplementing the grid power where additional power is needed along the transmission network several hundreds of miles away from the usage area. In a remote region where power station is not being sufficiently established or that part of the existing power transmission tower is undergoing maintenance, short term power from a rental company like UPR will assist to alleviate the shortage or to prevent a system shutdown of the grid.

At UPR, we are capable to deliver power to the client’s station on request to take over the supply of power on failure of the power grid. In a coordinated manner, power can be delivered to the client’s production by taking over the supply from the grid and with a seamless transfer back of the power to the grid upon its return.

Main features of our services include:

• Set up of temporary power plant within short notice
• Quick mobilisation with transformers and switchgear system as a complete solution
• Prevent production losses due to any brownout of grid power
• Voltage setting as required by clients.
• 24/7 technical service and support at site.

Construction & Infrastructure 

Mass Rapid Transit Tunneling Work

During tunneling work where the location is not being supported with town power, a temporary source of power from generators can be useful to drive the boring machines.

UPR engineers work with clients on their specifications to design and provide comprehensive solutions, taking into the account of the starting current to drive the bore bits, distance of travel and operating pattern.

In a built up area where sound level is a concern to the environment, UPR delivers its excellent sound insulated generators to meet with this criteria.

Main features include:

• Silence generator units to achieve noise compliance
• Quick set up and capable for fast relocation if required
• Power engineering design with complete power solution
• Transformer for providing higher voltage setting required for operating boring machine
• Switchgear protection for safety
• Provision of medium voltage cables and connections

Data Centre

Utilisation of load banks to test and discharge battery banks of the Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) is frequently conducted. In addition, UPR’s large capacity load banks may also be deployed to test the function of the control system as well as the multi-megawatts of standby generators installed as the backup power source at Data Centre.
