When a Strategic Aeronautical Site Needed Reliability, they
Chose Aggreko
The challenge for the customer
When a critical defense aeronautics facility
was in need of a temporary power station, they wanted a partner who
would be absolutely professional, reliable and thorough – ensuring
successful project implementation. There was too much at stake to
settle for anything less.
The client needed a 4MW generator system that
would run between 12 and 24 hours over a weekend, with power
consumption between 3.2 MW to 4.9 MW at 12,470 volts. They needed a
turnkey operation, with the vendor capable of managing generators,
fueling, freight and crane service, high voltage connections, and a
high voltage resistive load bank test.
Aggreko's solution
As soon as the bids came in, the client chose
Aggreko due to their professionalism and a comprehensive proposal
providing all the ancillary services the client had requested.
Once selected, Aggreko continued to provide
this client with peace of mind, adapting to numerous scheduling and
scope changes. The team also arranged to load equipment onsite two
weeks before the shutdown to assure the customer that everything
would be ready with plenty of time to spare.
When the shutdown finally took place in the
heat of June, it had a new estimated duration of up to 48 hours.
Aggreko was able to accommodate the change – not only providing the
equipment necessary even during peak season, but also ensuring
continuous fueling was available for the duration.
From the initial walk-through to the bid
and negotiation stage through the hours of operation, the Aggreko
team delivered exactly what the client needed.
