Sulzer: National Grid Project

The National Grid detected failing resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) on two Ex rated, 16 MW motors at gas booster stations in England. To secure Ex condition monitoring compliance, it approached Sulzer. As the motors were important for the Uk's gas supply network, repairing the 51 ton, six-phase synchronous units quickly was vital. Sulzer's Birmingham Service Centre carried out turnkey redesigns and rewinds on both motors, helping National Grid to provide reliable power to millions.

ADC Electrical

​Most people within engineering will be aware of how difficult it is becoming to find and keep hold of good engineering people. This year ADC Electrical have worked with Primary Engineer to try and increase awareness of engineering within schools in the Northeast of England to help produce our next generation of engineers. Although we are thrilled to be a finalist for this award, it is hoped that this may in some small way help raise awareness of the Primary Engineer scheme and that others will see its value, and want to get involved themselves.

Gary Downes, EMiR Software

There aren’t many other individuals who have dedicated so much of their time and resource to the AEMT. His business, Solutions in IT joined the association in 2003 and the business has grown to help upwards of 68 members succeed in their workflows, jobs, stock control and much more!  

In 2011, he joined the Council and was AEMT's first ever associate member to become honorary president in 2017. During his tenure he was pivotal in initiating many of the most popular events in our calendar. Perhaps the closest to his heart is the annual Golf Day. Thanks to his continued hard work and sponsorship of this event, it continues to be a sell-out event every year! Under his presidency, we also held our inaugural Awards Ceremony in which Solutions in IT have continued to be a significant category sponsor for this fantastic event. 

Aside from his accolades as president, he has been a stalwart champion of the association. Continually promoting our events and services via his own channels. Thanks to the relationships he’s built within the industry, he has introduced many new members to the AEMT.
