The Challenge
Delayed load bank and electrical board access impacting commissioning schedules
Our client was supporting the load testing of a new data centre. However, without being able to source the load banks required for adequate testing, this would mean their commissioning schedule would be affected.
To make matters more complicated, external electrical boards – which typically provide an easy Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) interface for load banks – hadn’t been installed yet. As a result, the client needed a partner who could route heavyweight cables directly to the UPS link boxes on the third floor of the data centre. This unique challenge made for a much more complex setup. With constant customer delays on-site, this meant load testing schedules would be subject to last minute changes.
The client needed a partner who could find a solution and fulfil both these challenging requirements.
