Peterhead headquartered JBS Group, a leading global provider of engineering solutions specialising in fabrication and engineering services, blast containment, screw conveyors and subsea excavation services are delighted to have secured a new significant contract with a New York power generation facility.

JBS provided a turnkey solution to install Arc Flash Protection Curtains in the switchgear room of the 1040MW peaking facility covering a three-step process: site survey, manufacture, and installation.

John Dudgeon, sales director with JBS commented: 
"This is a fantastic contract for JBS. Due to the success of this pilot project, our client is now looking to extend this installing in multiple sites throughout the USA. Overall contract value will be well in to six figures".

JBS Arc flash blankets and curtains are used as a barrier for protection from the explosive and incendiary effects of electrical arcs and flashes to both systems and personnel. These hazardous electrical discharges can be caused by faults in cables, in cable splices and joints, and at transformer terminals, or they may be generated by the operation of switch gear, circuit breakers and lightning arrestors.
