One of our engineering teams has been hard at work in Riyadh this week, carrying out a full upgrade of both the A and B generator controllers on site. The existing units, locally sourced and repeatedly problematic, were holding back the performance and reliability of the system. Our client needed stability, visibility, and confidence in their power infrastructure, especially with the site operating at such a critical level.
We replaced the old controllers with DeepSea DSE7420 units, giving the generators a far more advanced platform to run on. These controllers are built to last, with cleaner logic, better protections, and a far more intuitive interface. The difference in day-to-day usability is immediate, but the long-term benefit is in the stability they provide under load and during changeover events.
As part of the upgrade, we also installed new fuel tank probes. This addition gives the client real-time monitoring of tank levels and generator health, accessible remotely from the UK. No more relying on manual checks, delayed updates, or guesswork. They now have full visibility of their infrastructure, status, alarms, fuel conditions, and performance, all available at a glance.
It’s a straightforward truth: when you combine good engineering with proven equipment, reliability goes up and the headaches go down. This upgrade gives the client a system they can trust, and it removes the risk that comes with mismatched or low-quality components.
Another solid deployment from the Barbour team and a reminder of why investing in dependable control hardware is always the smarter choice.
