Challenge

The client required temporary power for six machinery control centres whilst the mains power was isolated to allow a HV upgrade.

Machinery Control Centres (MCCs) are essential components in industrial electrical systems, providing centralised control and protection for electric motors. They are designed to efficiently manage and control multiple motors within a facility, ensuring safe and effective operation.

 

  • Project name: WWTW HV Upgrade – North West
  • Sector: Construction
  • Location: Lancashire
  • Solution provided: 12 x 500kVA generators, cabling and distribution and a 3000-litre fuel tank

Solution

Each of the six MMCs required two 500 kVA synchronised generators operating in load-sharing mode. Each generator was supplied with two full sets of 240mm x 30m cables (a total of 3,600m of cable) and a 3,000-litre fuel tank, providing a combined total of 39,000 litres of diesel on site.

We also provided a 500kVA backup generator on site, complete with cables and a fuel tank, and maintained a 300kVA standby unit at a local depot for additional emergency cover.

In addition to power supply, we provided comprehensive site-specific documentation, including lifting plans, RAMS and site inductions, along with detailed delivery and collection schedules covering access restrictions, traffic management and required road and car park closures.
