Sectors: hydro, substations, industrial and transportation electrification
Hydroelectricity, transmission and distribution substations, industrial, mining and institutional, transportation electrification. Quebec-based. Deployed across Canada.
Sectors
Four contexts, the same testing and commissioning rigor
Generating stations, substations, mining and institutional sites, ferry terminals: the same NETA, IEEE and CSA practices, adapted to each environment.
Hydroelectricity
For OEMs, contractors and producers: rehabilitation, modernization and commissioning of generating stations. Turbine-generator units, excitation, protection and control, and interconnection substations.
This sector is for manufacturers, contractors and power producers rehabilitating, modernizing or commissioning hydroelectric generating stations. FORWA handles unit testing and commissioning, protection and control, excitation, governors and associated switchgear, with the documentation rigor OEMs and major producers expect. The scope runs from the turbine-generator unit to the interconnection substation.

Transmission and distribution substations
For substation and interconnection teams: HV/MV apparatus commissioning and testing, protection and control, and pre-energization checks, to NETA, IEEE and CSA.
This sector is for contractors, OEMs and producers commissioning or testing transmission and distribution substation apparatus. FORWA tests circuit breakers, transformers, instrument transformers, protection and control, and performs pre-energization checks, up to high voltage. Campaigns follow NETA, IEEE and CSA, with clear, defensible test reports.
