Casinos might be use to seeing spectacular strokes of luck, but nothing could prepare this Chicago-based casino for the literal lightning strike of a storm that destroyed its transformer and left it completely cut off. The 53,000 square ft. casino was located on a floating barge, making the conditions for repair even more challenging.

Additionally, the wide-spread effects of the storm created a competing demand for temporary power among businesses. The longer the casino went without power, the more they lost in revenue. Not knowing how long repairs would take, the casino needed a temporary, reliable power source as quickly as possible.

Just eight hours after getting the call from the customer, our team had the entire equipment package fully up and running. The customer could reopen their doors and resume business as usual with no problem.

Even better, we’d identified a solution that reduced power and fuel usage, saving them a significant amount of money in the long run.
