Introduction
The pharmaceutical industry demands precision, consistency, and reliability. Power outages or unstable energy supply can compromise production quality and safety standards. Recognizing these challenges, Ophth Pharma, a leading pharmaceutical company in Karachi, partnered with Global Engineering Links (GEL) to manage the operation and maintenance of its diesel generators. This project was not just about servicing machinery—it was about ensuring that life-saving products could be manufactured without interruption.
Project Overview
The project focused on the full operational management of two high-capacity diesel generators: a 1.5MW and an 800KVA unit. These generators served as the backbone of Ophth Pharma’s power contingency plan, keeping production facilities secure during outages. GEL’s task was to maintain these machines so they consistently performed at peak efficiency.
Scope of Work
Our team carried out comprehensive maintenance routines that included checking coolant systems, inspecting air and fuel filters, monitoring oil levels, and ensuring radiators and water pumps functioned seamlessly. Preventive maintenance was prioritized to identify and fix potential issues before they could escalate into costly breakdowns. Our engineers also responded to emergency calls to ensure immediate solutions in case of faults, providing 24/7 operational coverage.
Challenges and Solutions
Maintaining two different generator units of significant capacity required specialized technical planning. The challenge was to balance usage while preventing wear and tear, as both gensets were critical for uninterrupted production. GEL introduced a proactive scheduling system, rotating loads and monitoring performance trends to maximize the efficiency and lifespan of the generators.
Impact
The results were clear: Ophth Pharma maintained seamless operations throughout the contract period, with no major downtime events. By ensuring consistent power availability, GEL safeguarded the client’s production schedules, quality standards, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how GEL goes beyond technical maintenance to deliver operational security. For industries where reliability translates directly into safety and quality, our services provide confidence that systems will perform when they are needed most.
