Energypac Power Generation Ltd (EPGL), establishes the first and only generator testing lab in Bangladesh, the state-of-the-art Eng Khaleda Shahriar Kabir Testing Lab.
It has enabled Energypac to ensure the highest quality products and services for its customers, reads a press release.
Architect Yeafesh Osman, minister of Science and Technology, who graced the event as the chief guest, said: “The present government is working towards fulfilling the dream of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu and building a digital Bangladesh under the direction of the Hon'ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, and Energypac is playing a leading role in this, so I sincerely thank them and wish them greater success in the near future.”
"The government is emphasizing more on research and innovation to accelerate sustainable development," he added
Engineer Nurul Huda, president of the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB); Shikha Rahman, professor, Civil & Environmental Engineering, California Polytechnic State University, USA; Humayun Rashid, managing director and CEO, Energypac Power Generation Ltd.; and others were present during the event.
Shikha Rahman is the daughter of engineer Khaleda Shahriar Kabir.
In the state-of-the-art testing lab, two standard load banks are accessible, which are used to create artificial loads and compare their performance to generator load capacity.
The inauguration ceremony was held virtually on January 29.
Energypac can verify the correct load capacity, sound level requirements, vibration level, and determine the pressure or flow of the exhaust from the silencer, as well as the generator's temperature.
The lab has been named Eng Khaleda Shahriar Kabir Testing Lab to honour the first and one of the most renowned female engineers in Bangladesh.
The idea behind the lab and its naming were clarified further by Humayun Rashid, the Managing Director and CEO of Energypac: “With our newly established testing lab, we now have the exclusive advantage in Bangladesh to manufacture and distribute generators that qualify at a next-level standard. This will undoubtedly provide greater reassurance to our customers and stakeholders.”
“At the same time, our motto was to spread the amazing story of engineer Khaleda Shahriar Kabir, who was a pioneer among females studying engineering in Bangladesh. She overcame many adversities to stand out as an example, and hence, Energypac opted to pay tribute to her name and legacy of women’s empowerment by naming the benchmark lab after her,” he said.
