The challenge

What holds energy & utilities operations back

Power generation, transmission, and distribution companies in Nigeria are investing to improve reliability across widely dispersed and often ageing assets. Field crews work near live equipment, and asset records are frequently incomplete after years of piecemeal upgrades. OakAssist gives utilities a dependable digital record of their infrastructure and a safe way to train crews on hazardous switching and maintenance tasks before they happen in the field.

  1. 01

    Incomplete records of dispersed assets

    Substations, feeders, and plant equipment have been upgraded piecemeal over many years, leaving gaps between what is recorded and what is installed.

  2. 02

    Hazardous work near live equipment

    Switching, isolation, and high-voltage maintenance demand precise procedure. Errors can be fatal, yet realistic practice opportunities are scarce.

  3. 03

    Upgrade and rehabilitation planning

    Reliability programmes and capacity upgrades depend on accurate clearances, layouts, and equipment data that often has to be gathered from scratch.

  4. 04

    Regulatory and performance reporting

    Utilities must evidence asset condition, maintenance activity, and workforce competency to regulators, investors, and lenders.

How OakAssist helps

Two solutions, one operating picture

Digital assets give your teams an accurate view of the facility. Training-as-a-Service prepares your people to work in it safely and keeps the evidence current. Use either on its own, or combine them so training is built from your real site data.

01 Know your facility

Digital Assets

Digital baselines give engineering and operations teams a trusted view of dispersed infrastructure.

  • Substation and plant digital twins

    Capture switchyards, control buildings, and generation plant to verify clearances, equipment positions, and access before upgrade work begins.

  • Remote review for dispersed sites

    Engineers review site conditions from the office, reducing travel across the network and speeding up design and approval cycles.

  • Asset records linked to location

    Inspection and maintenance information is tied to a spatial reference, improving the quality of asset registers and condition reporting.

02 Prepare your people

Training-as-a-Service (TaaS)

Training-as-a-Service lets crews rehearse dangerous tasks safely and keeps their competency current.

  • Switching and isolation simulations

    Crews practise switching sequences, lock-out/tag-out, and approach distances in VR, building correct habits without exposure to live equipment.

  • Consistent training across regions

    The same scenarios reach crews in every district, reducing variation in how procedures are learned across a dispersed workforce.

  • Refresher scheduling and evidence

    Competency tracking flags when refreshers are due and records results, supporting safe authorisation of field personnel.

From site data to site-ready teams

Combine both solutions to turn your facility's digital twin into a training environment. Teams practise in a place they recognise, before they work in it.

What changes
