Power Plant Relies on Bowne Global Solutions to Bring its
Operating Documentation Up to European Standard
NEW YORK, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Bowne Global Solutions (BGS), the world's
leading provider of translation, localization and technical writing services,
announced today that it has been awarded the contract to oversee and assist in
the production of new operating and maintenance documentation for the Maritza
East III thermal power plant in southeastern Bulgaria, which is being
refurbished.
The plant is owned by the Maritza East III Power Company, a joint venture
between Entergy Corporation (a United States-based energy company), NEK
(Bulgaria's National Electric Company) and Enel of Italy. The Maritza East III
Operating Company (a joint venture between Entergy and NEK), which is
responsible for the operation and maintenance of the plant, has awarded BGS's
technical writing group the contract based on its ability to provide operating
and maintenance documentation solutions for complex power-generating plants.
BGS's technical writing group, which is based in the United Kingdom, has been
specializing in power plant documentation since 1966.
"Based on previous experience with BGS, the Operating Company is confident that
BGS will effectively help us meet our goal -- to write operating and
maintenance documentation that not only reflects our future method of operation
after refurbishment but also satisfies industry best practices," said Marc
Clemson, the Operating Company's Project Manager.
The operating and maintenance manuals that will be produced are based on the
original manuals, which were written in Russian and Bulgarian. Interpreters who
speak these languages are working with plant personnel to write new
documentation directly in Bulgarian. BGS, in its consultative role, visits the
site regularly to ensure that the documentation reflects the changes being made
to the plant and that the documentation meets world standards in terms of
working practices and safety.
"BGS has documented almost every power plant in the United Kingdom, including
coal - and gas -- fired plants," said Bill Harney, Account Manager- Power at
BGS. "We've also participated in documenting every nuclear power plant in the
UK and have worked in countries worldwide. Because of BGS's network of
translators across the globe, language poses no barrier for us in meeting our
clients' need for accurate operating and maintenance documentation, interactive
electronic technical manuals (IETMs), plant schematics and plant systems
schematic handbooks."
The 840-megawatt lignite-fired plant, located near Stara Zagora, Bulgaria, was
built in 1981 and comprises four 210-megawatt turbo-generating units. The
refurbishment will improve the plant's emissions, increase performance and add
approximately 15 years to the plant's life.
