The challenge
Back-up power for essential transformer maintenance
One of Scotland’s major train stations needed to carry out essential maintenance on a transformer. Back-up power was needed in case another transformer at the site should fail.
Space for the hire equipment within the station’s basement was limited and a low ceiling added height restrictions. And as the station is located in a busy area of the city centre, deliveries could potentially cause disruption to traffic.
We needed to come up with a plan that kept trains running to schedule and that didn’t upset those using the surrounding area.
