Tania De Hombre

Field Engineer working supervising the maintenance activities of power generators onsite and the resources used to perform the job in compliance with safety, quality and on time delivery such as personnel, equipment and schedule and this includes performing Low, Medium and High Voltage Electrical Tests and Inspections to diagnose as preventive and predictive maintenance and sometimes performing corrective maintenance (repairs) as well in different units from different brands and technologies. In addition, in charge of planning and executing Generator Outages as well as call outs for any emergency. Travel is necessary since the job mainly is across the American Continent, currently and since 2021 focusing in Canada.

• Responsible for supervising General Electric contract for all Major Inspections and upgrades of gas/steam turbo-generators at Tuxpan III and IV Thermoelectric Power Plant, this ranges from the mechanical part to electrical, making corresponding modifications. Supervision as well as supply of what is necessary for the execution of all the activities during the outages. Planning of Predictive Maintenance with plant equipment and requirements and continue with the execution of the construction and start-up of the new water plant on site (civil, mechanical and electrical works).

• Part of the Electrical Testing Department where tests were performed on all equipment on-site as part of the company's predictive/preventive maintenance program, in case of failure. Diagnosis of corresponding facilities and equipment and correction plan was made to execute repairs accordingly.
• Electrical Tests, mostly non-destructive of insulation resistance, earth resistance and resistivity, ohmic resistance, transformation ratio, thermography, off-line analyzer, among others.
• Planning, programming and executing predictive and preventive maintenance schedules according to IEEE and Federal standards.

• As volunteers studies and diagnoses were performed on energy consumption, efficiency, equipment and energy usage at public schools, public industries, public facilities such as orphanages, asylums and others for improving their electrical installations and reduce service costs.
• Design of equipment installation or upgrades of both cooling systems and lighting and thus to optimize and assess the correct use of energy supply and eco-friendly technology updates available to improve energy and financial efficiency.
