Engineering Field Services | Global Sourcing 
Expertise That Spans the Globe Homewood has expanded its service support to address these increasing demands and risks associated with efficient and safe operations. We have added commissioning, electrical maintenance, site operations, repair and testing to our stable of "single source solutions" ... providing expert engineering service to either augment your in-house capability or function as an outsourced extension of your operating needs. Regardless of how these services are contracted, they can become the appropriate ongoing resource to help optimize operating performance. The number of countries in which we have worked is exceeded only by the variety of equipment we have installed, commissioned, serviced or repaired. Our highly skilled engineers and technicians can quickly diagnose and solve critical operational problems. Our expertise encompasses the following electrical/mechanical equipment applications:
Installation and Commissioning Electrical Engineering & Field Service Verify Systems, Integrity and Safety For new or expanded facility installation and start-up, acceptance testing of electrical power systems is a critical tool. Shipping and installation damage, field and factory wiring errors, manufacturing defects, systems and components not in accordance with drawings and specifications are among the many problems that can be detected by proper testing. By detecting defects before start- up, they can be corrected under warranty... eliminating safety risks, possible equipment failure and potential consequential damages associated with loss of production. Test results obtained during acceptance testing are invaluable as base reference data for periodic testing ... an essential element of an effective maintenance program. Maintenence & Repair Maintenance testing of electrical power systems provides our clients a means of prolonging the service life of equipment as well as averting unexpected failures and loss of production. Minor repairs can often be performed in the field. Major equipment tested in Electrical Power Distribution Systems include:
Electrical Power Systems Testing Regardless of the amount or type of electrical power equipment and systems in operation, accurate testing is required to maintain efficiency. Capacity, response time and general reliability are continuously challenged by the deteriorating effects of time. Homewood's electrical power systems performance and protection testing and maintenance includes:
Value Added Services To complement our equipment installation, maintenance, operation, servicing and repair services, we offer:
Parts and Product Availability We has developed two (2) product availability programs to enhance the service support to utility, industrial and commercial customers. Each program is structured to deliver quality products and parts, at a reasonable cost in the required time.
Homewood, through its extensive network of manufacturing alliance partners, distributors and representatives is a world-wide source for many Westinghouse and non-Westinghouse electrical/mechanical industrial products. We have an engineering and sales team that can assist you in meeting your procurement needs for industrial equipment manufactured by Homewood Products, Eaton's Cutler-Hammer, TECO-Westinghouse, ABB Power T&D, Buffalo Power Electronics, Emerson and others. Typical equipment, parts and products available are:
FACTORY REVITALIZATION AND REPAIR Electrical & Electronic Repair and Revitalization Restores Reliability to Failed Or Vintage Equipment. We also have one of the most comprehensive selections of repair services available to help minimize costly unscheduled downtime. Although some repairs can be made in the field, complete revitalization of equipment is performed at one of our facilities.\ Electrical Fully trained and experienced engineers and technicians working in a modern, well-equipped facility, return equipment back to "like new condition" . Every item serviced is also tested and/or calibrated to original specifications. The scope of available Homewood shop services includes equipment repairing, remanufacturing, updating, reconditioning and retrofitting. The following represents the most traditional list of products serviced by the Homewood Electrical Repair Shop:

Nuclear/Safety-Related Capabilities Since 1986, Homewood has maintained nuclear quality programs at our manufacturing as well as our instrument calibration and repair facilities. Prior to 2002, we teamed exclusively with nuclear qualifiers to provide safety-related equipment into the nuclear power generation industry. In 2002, Homewood formed a new company (Homewood Energy Services) dedicated to exclusively and directly serving the nuclear industry. Utilities, OEM's and third party qualifiers have audited us and all of the audits were successful. HES products and services are covered by our own qualification reports. With a 10CFR50 Appendix B Quality Program in place, we can accept both safety and non-safety related orders for our equipment. Calibration and Instrumentation More affordability and quality than going directly to the manufacturer. Since 1965, Homewood's labs have delivered affordable precision accuracy in Metrology Services including calibration, reconditioning, process control and repair of the following equipment regardless of the manufacturer:
...in manufacturing, aerospace, defense, electronic, food, pharmaceutical, chemical and power generation. All of our calibrations are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or have been derived from accepted values of natural physical constants. Our labs are in compliance with ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 (formerly Mil-Std 45662A), ANSI N45.3, ANSI Z540, Mil-I-45208A and other appropriate national and industrial standards at our labs or on site. For nuclear applications, a 10CFR50 Appendix B Quality Program is in place. Large or small, simple or complex -- calibration and repair is performed in specially designed labs and Class 1000 clean rooms. We can often arrange for pickup and delivery of your equipment. Homewood has an extensive technical library with specs for many manufacturers' equipment -- Fluke, Hewlett-Packard, Tektronix, and Transcat. We also use manufacturer-recommended replacement parts or equivalent to maintain the original integrity of the equipment. Homewood keeps you fully informed of whatever calibration or repair services are needed and the cost involve prior to starting. Upon completion, you will receive:
