History & Vision
A Continuous Engineering Responsibility Since 1952
A Single Mission Over Time
Since its creation, SERGI has focused on a single challenge: preventing catastrophic transformer failures and protecting the continuity of critical energy infrastructure — across evolving ownership structures, market conditions and power system architectures.
Timeline — Key Milestones
SERGI designs and delivers mechanical protection concepts developed from
- field observations,
- incident analysis,
- close interaction with infrastructure operators.
This period established SERGI’s engineering culture: solutions grounded in observed physical behaviour, not theoretical assumptions.
Vision
Engineering for Long-Term Infrastructure Responsibility
SERGI’s vision is guided by a long-term observation rather than short-term innovation cycles:
- As power systems become more interconnected and complex,
- transparency must prevail over promise-driven protection,
- long-term resilience must take precedence over short-term optimisation,
- protection architectures must be aligned with physical reality, not assumptions.
Continuity Over Cycles
While technologies, regulations and system architectures evolve, SERGI’s core principles remain unchanged:
- engineering responsibility over marketing claims,
- transparency over promise-driven protection,
- long-term resilience over short-term optimisation.
Continuity Is Not a Position. It Is a Discipline.
SERGI’s history is not defined by milestones, but by the consistent application of engineering judgement to real-world failures.
This discipline continues to guide how we analyse risks, design protection architectures and engage with infrastructure operators facing high-impact, low-frequency events.
