Redcar Power Station, located on the former SSI Steelworks site along the River Tees, remains a key part of the region’s industrial redevelopment.
Reasonable operation requires continuous visibility of high-voltage assets across a wide network of remote substations.
Real-time data transfer from these locations to the ventral control team is essential to maintain grid stability, site safety and operational reliability.
The existing SERCK telemetry system had become obsolete, with no remaining vendor support. Aging Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) created a risk of losing visibility of critical switchgear events.
The site required a modern solution that could:
JBA Engineering completed a detailed review of site drawings, I/O records, and existing infrastructure to develop a modern substation architecture using reliable Siemens hardware.
JBA Engineering transformed the legacy telementry system into a secure, reliable digital monitoring platform.
Virtual testing and Factory Acceptance Testing allowed the system to be validated before installation, reducing commissioning risks and project timescales.
The completed solution provides:
The project demonstrates JBA Engineering’s ability to deliver high-availability control and communication solutions for critical infrastructure.
