The Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) has decided to establish a state-of-the-art transformer reclamation workshop in its Mianwali circle with an estimated cost of Rs19.8 million.
A spokesman for the company said on Tuesday that FESCO Board of Directors also accorded approval for the workshop at Shehbaz Khail in the Mianwali circle. He said that Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Engineer Shafiqul Hasan has directed the FESCO staff to complete this project by December 2020.
In this connection, Executive Engineer Shakeel Haidar has also invited bids which would be opened on September 8, 2020. He said that the establishment of a reclamation workshop will help in the repair of out-of-order, damaged, and burnt transformers without any delay.
This step will also help in restoring electricity by replacing defective transformers within minimum time. This reclamation workshop will also help in lessening the burden on workshops of Sargodha and Faisalabad circles, he added.
