Risk Management Workshop
delivered
As part of the 22nd biennial British Dam Society
Conference, held in September, our Regional
Managing Director, Russ Digby, led a very
well-attended workshop entitled 8Risk
Management Techniques for M&E Equipment9.
The workshop enabled the participants to gain first-hand
experience of carrying out a detailed Hazard and
Operability (HAZOP) Study and a Failure Modes and
Eûects Analysis (FMEA) for a typical industry electric
actuator operated vertical lift gate/penstock.

Expanding KGAL’s
Expertise
There’s always something new to learn,
and our diverse engineering team have
been expanding their expertise.
Associate Director Paul Jones (electrical) and
Mechanical Engineer Ross Strickland have been
updating their knowledge on a University certified
professional development course on European (EU
& UK) Machinery Safety requirements, largely
based on the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Having both successfully completed a five-day online course, they
have sixteen weeks to complete an assignment using a virtual reality
software package, which depicts numerous machines along with their
technical files and other relevant documentation, requiring them to
complete PUWER checklists and a minimum of 25 risk assessments.
We’re looking forward to exhibiting alongside
Whessoe Sdn Bhd at HYDRO 2024 in Graz,
Austria on 18th to 20th November.
It will be great to join friends, colleagues and partners, both
old and new, at this important annual event in the
international hydropower community calendar.
Make sure you come to our stand (032) to say hello!
Mechanical Engineer George Stacey CEng IMechE
and Senior Mechanical Engineer Yue He CEng
IMechE attended a Fundamentals of Corrosion
course presented by the Institute of Corrosion
in October.
The course will aid their ability to assess potential or actual corrosion
situations to enable them to build anti-corrosion measures and
strategies into projects, and help them understand mechanisms and
causes of common premature failures.
