The project included six rental generators of varying sizes: one 800 kVA, three 500 kVA, one 300 kVA, and one 200 kVA, supported by six bulk fuel tanks. Additional equipment included cables, delivery, installation, fuel management, cable ramps, and a load bank.
Background
This case study showcases Shenton Group’s expertise in generator hire and highlights the importance of having a robust backup power solution to maintain operations during adverse weather.
Our client, a leading manufacturer specialising in the production, storage, and supply of a versatile chemical compound, serves industries such as food production, chemical processing, industrial applications, and water treatment. Renowned for their high-quality products and reliable service, their operations are essential to meeting client demand.
Severe winter weather led to flooding in six underground switch rooms, causing a complete power outage at their site. As a 24/7 operation in peak production season, the client needed an urgent emergency power solution to avoid disruption and financial loss.
Project Overview
Shenton Group acted swiftly to deliver an emergency power solution. Late on a Friday afternoon, we received a call requesting backup power for half the site. Within just four hours, our team was onsite, delivering and installing the necessary equipment.
The following Friday at 4:30 pm, we were contacted again to provide temporary generator hire for the other half of the site. Once more, we responded promptly and were onsite within four hours, demonstrating our commitment to exceptional service.
In total, we supplied 2,800 kVA of generator capacity, complete with bulk fuel tanks, cables, cable ramps, load banks, and comprehensive fuel management services. Shenton Group provided a four-month generator hire period, ensuring uninterrupted power until the site was repaired and fully restored.
Outcome
Our rapid response ensured that the client’s operations resumed swiftly, saving them thousands of pounds in lost production costs and preventing reputational damage. The fully supported prime power solution kept the client’s premises operational for four months, allowing essential repairs to be carried out without disruption.
This project highlights Shenton Group’s ability to deliver reliable and efficient emergency power solutions tailored to the specific needs of each client.
“The complexity of the project and the problem-solving involved were challenging but rewarding. I am incredibly proud of our team for responding so quickly to support our customers once again.”
