Testmark Laboratories LTD and SD Myers Inc. are now working jointly to provide Canadian transformer owners with intelligent transformer management solutions through advanced oil testing and maintenance training
April 1st, 2011– Sudbury, ON: Testmark Laboratories is the foremost company in the environmental testing marketplace. When combined with SD Myers’ expertise in interpretation and recommendations, this synergy creates a comprehensive solution for managing the complex maintenance needs of transformers.
In 2000 Testmark Laboratories became an exclusive transformer oil testing lab for SD Myers, providing analysis of oil samples forNorth, South and Central America. Diagnostic services and maintenance recommendations were provided by SD Myers, making for a strong, experienced and committed partnership on behalf of their global customers.
Now Testmark and SD Myers bring that same combined excellence to the Canadian marketplace.
SD Myers provides over 45 years of transformer knowledge and experience
Precision testing, diagnostics and education are essential in determining the proper recommendations to ensure reliable transformer operation. Since 1965, SD Myers has been a leader in the electric power service industry, providing diagnostic/analytical testing, engineering services and engineered products in an effort to keep power systems operating reliably.
Today, new challenges bring new solutions, solutions for the next generation. The industry is currently experiencing a dramatic decline in transformer maintenance knowledge. The “boomer brain drain” that began after the turn of the century continues to leave large expertise gaps in an industry with a greater need for transformer knowledge than ever before, with aging transformers and substantially different manufacturing standards for new units. Transformer experts are retiring and in many cases it is difficult to replace their knowledge.
SD Myers is able to provide a bridge to that growing knowledge gap through the industry’s most in-depth and comprehensive training and certification programs. Offering classes and seminars not only in the US but also in Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Australia, SD Myers has positioned itself as the leader for transformer maintenance training and certification for the utility, industrial, municipal and co-op markets internationally.
For information on SD Myers wide range of transformer maintenance solutions, or to register for the upcoming Half Century Transformer and Load Tap Changer seminars taking place Aug 29th through Sept 1st in Mississauga, Ontario, (only 30 seats available) please contact:
