The challenge
Providing 110 per cent capacity during essential upgrade
John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford needed to upgrade its substation to support new facilities, but also needed to be absolutely sure that the backup power supply was going to meet demands.
Any interruptions in supply while working on the upgraded facilities not only risked lives but risked sensitive and sophisticated medical equipment going haywire, too – obviously things that had to be avoided at all costs.
