ESB International - Key Strengths

ESBI O&M Solutions has an excellent track record based on our utility perspective and experience as well as our commercially focused, performance driven approach. Our core strengths deliver:

1. Performance & Availability
We operate a shared risk model which ensures that the performance and availability of our customer's plant is optimised throughout its working life. ESBI's O&M plants have high availability, low forced outage rates and an excellent track record of delivering major maintenance events on time and to budget.
2. Expertise
ESBI O&M Solutions staff are drawn from the same pool of experts who operate and maintain our assets within ESB Group. These highly trained specialists have experience across a range of plant technologies and fuel sources, and work with our customers to develop the ideal operations and maintenance strategy for their business.
3. Commercial Focus
ESBI has first hand experience of the challenges facing plant owners operating in highly competitive markets. This focuses our methodology and implementation approach to continually improve our customer's competitiveness and increase their commercial returns.
4. Independent Advice
We offer qualified independent advice as we are not tied to any supplier or Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The expertise developed working with customers worldwide means we challenge supplier proposed solutions and we offer independent advice that maximises competitive advantage and profitability for our customers.
5. Flexibility
With projects successfully completed in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia, ESBI has proven its ability to successfully deliver across the globe. We also have experience in a wide range of electricity generating technologies and energy sources, including coal, oil, gas, wind and hydro.
6. Synergies across our O&M Portfolio
Our objective is to foster best practice sharing across our portfolio of plants. By transferring knowledge, exchanging experiences and learning from each customer site we continually improve power plant performance. All plants have standardised systems, procedures and policies which enable us to benchmark and measure performance across different power plants.
7. Safety
We are fully dedicated to the health and safety of all people involved in ESBI's activities. It is a core value that is driven through all aspects of our business. We have an excellent safety performance record in the plants that we operate worldwide.
