The Challenge

Handling the pressures of movie-making

A production company needed quiet and reliable power to film the second season of a popular American science-fiction TV series in Victoria, Australia.

The challenges of moviemaking required reliable and stable 24/7 power for a wide range of applications as well as protecting sensitive electrical equipment such as A/C units and water pumps from power surges.

The Solution

Calling ‘action’ on a sustainable solution

With no room for error, Aggreko provided a sustainable solution for the unit team for the filming location. We supplied two truck-mounted systems containing a hybrid power package of silent power generators and battery storage. To compliment the solution, we also supplied the distribution system, main outgoing switchboard and two silenced truck-mounted generators for the gaffers. 

The unit team then distributed the load around the Unit Base at each deployed location. With the help of the event team, Aggreko mounted the assets on the back of cross-hired trucks ready for pick up.
