The Assignment
In Haverhill, a prominent pet food manufacturer, situated 19 miles from Cambridge, encountered a critical challenge. Occupying a substantial facility of 44,520 square feet for warehousing and 2,948 square feet for office operations, they faced a power supply inadequacy for their specialised machinery. Despite the 275 kVA power supply typically sufficing for commercial uses, it fell short for the manufacturer’s high-demand equipment. Given the high costs and lease restrictions, upgrading the facility’s power infrastructure was impractical. Therefore, a bespoke, independent power solution was imperative to sustain their production.
The paramount challenge for this project was ensuring a stable and uninterrupted power supply capable of handling both peak and minimal load demands, essential for maintaining continuous production and operational efficiency in this manufacturing environment.
The Plan
Our approach at Templant Rental Power began with an extensive pre-site evaluation to precisely gauge the current and anticipated power requirements, considering any future expansion or machinery addition. We plan to install a pair of 500kVA generators, each equipped with an advanced load-sharing system. This system intelligently manages the power load, activating the second generator as per the fluctuating daily requirements and shutting it down during low-demand periods to conserve fuel.
Our plan encompassed strategic placement of components, efficient cable routing, comprehensive risk assessments, and security measures. We also established procedures for consistent system testing, streamlined refuelling operations, and remote monitoring capabilities, enhancing both reliability and operational flexibility.
The Result
Our project execution showcased our commitment to delivering dependable power solutions with an emphasis on safety and security. We established a fortified perimeter around the generator setup and maintained high safety standards during installation. The integration of the dual-generator system was a pivotal achievement due to the daily heavy power requirements.This solution not only addressed the immediate power needs of the pet food manufacturer but also aligned with their long-term goals for continuous production and operational efficiency, demonstrating our expertise in tailoring power solutions to complex industrial requirements.
