When an Ice Storm Struck, a Manufacturing
Facility Needed Power Fast
The Customer Challenge
A leading OEM to major auto manufacturers serves a demanding
market. So, when an ice storm cut off power to its plant – they had
to get back up and running fast and Aggreko helped make it
happen.
The Aggreko Solution
Aggreko not only got the plant back up
and operational, they also made a very complex mobilization fast
and seamless. Plus, Aggreko’s years of experience in similar
situations helped ensure the company wasn’t left vulnerable to
future storms.
As the ice storm struck, Aggreko mobilized
generators, fuel tanks and high-voltage transformers to the site.
With no high-voltage cable in the area, Aggreko had to procure
rental cabling on behalf of the customer – creating a truly turnkey
solution for the customer.
The Benefit to the Customer
Thanks to Aggreko’s experience with
outages of this magnitude, we were able to help the company
cost-effectively manage the risk of another power outage. Aggreko
advised the company to keep the equipment onsite even after their
power was back up. This would eliminate huge costs of
remobilization and minimize downtime should another storm strike.
Aggreko established a standby price for the company, making it
cost-efficient for them to plan for the unexpected.
The Aggreko team went all-out – responding
fast, assembling a complete solution, and even creating a smart
contingency plan that would protect the customer from additional
risk and cost.
