“Mike’s presentation on Plan 53A and B seal systems was very interesting and well received by our Maintenance and Operations team members, who now understand much better how they work, how to troubleshoot them and how to improve the operation and monitoring of such systems. The field portion put into practice what was delivered in class.”

Senior Rotating Equipment Reliability Engineer 

“After months of collaboration to diagnose recurring pump and seal issues, streamline data tracking, and implement effective solutions, our team has successfully resolved its first set of equipment challenges, already exceeding annual cost-saving targets. By partnering with Westpower’s pump and seal consulting experts while managing our own reliability program, we’ve identified improvements that are projected to save $390K annually. With additional lookbacks scheduled, we expect even greater long-term savings and reliability gains. This milestone was only possible through the expertise, support, and commitment of the entire team.”
