The challenge

Overcoming complex demands during plant maintenance

Aggreko was tasked with providing temporary power solutions for the annual plant shutdown of a leading pharmaceutical plant in Singapore, where they undergo maintenance for essential equipment. The project spanned across four days, but mobilisation required an extensive preparation period of two weeks.

Given Aggreko's longstanding relationship with the customer, having provided reliable temporary power and temperature control solutions for the past six years, we were the go-to choice for this critical project.

The plant faced several significant challenges during this maintenance period. The complexity of cabling work and equipment placement was compounded by the warm and humid weather, making the usual installation work even more challenging.

This year, the requirement for temporary power and cooling solutions had doubled due to the addition of a new plant, adding to the complexity and scale of the project.
