Prime Contractor: MMR Group
Executed by: ROALNE INC. (now CONTELEC INC)
Location: Esmeraldas, Ecuador
Period: 07/2015 – 02/2016
Scope of Work Executed
CONTELEC Inc., operating under its former name ROALNE Inc., performed specialized highvoltage works in the energy recovery program of the Refinería Esmeraldas. The scope included:

During the post-installation phase, technical personnel from C.A. were assigned by MMR Group to Wilpro S.A. for operational support and preventive maintenance across the facility. This arrangement spanned two years and involved system supervision, inspection coordination, and technical oversight — reinforcing the reliability and sustained performance of the infrastructure delivered.
Testing & Commissioning Protocols
• Double-voltage testing using OMICRON CPC equipment
o Evaluated insulation resistance, capacitance, and power factor
o Applied across HV cable segments and substation apparatus
• Functional checks for MCC and switchgear panels
• Relay protection testing and grounding verification
• Test witnessing with Wilpro and GE representatives
• Completion of punch list and full operational release
Safety & Documentation Oversight
• Lock-out/tag-out supervision during installation and energization
• Permit control for electrical works across subcontractors
• Technical participation in QA/QC activities during client and OEM inspections
Results & Relevance
• Cable circuits successfully installed, tested, and energized
• Substation and MCC systems fully functional and commissioned
• Client validation confirmed under multi-party inspection
• Technical presence extended beyond construction into long-term operational support
• Experience proves CONTELEC Inc.’s capability in long-distance HV cabling, AIS/MCC integration, QA/QC compliance, and client collaboration
In addition to the documented HV/MV scopes presented above, CONTELEC Inc.(formerly ROALNE Inc.) holds a portfolio of nearly 30 years of proven execution, including numerous low-voltage infrastructure projects with similar service profiles. These works have encompassed panel assembly, MCC installations, cable routing, Control circuit configuration, and testing protocols aligned with industrial requirements.
