Water Pumping Station

A standby power solution was required to allow for urgent refurbishment works at a water pumping station, ensuring the safe and uninterrupted supply of raw water from a local river to a water treatment works. 

The Challenge

The challenge was to supply a 2000kVA generator and a 3.3kV transformer to act as a backup power supply in lieu of the existing switchgear and generator being obsolete.

The Solution

A bespoke telemetry unit was added to the generator set and linked to the Regional Water Authority’s monitoring system to improve communication between Power Electrics and the client. Engineers were also relocated near to the site, which allowed for a rapid response in the event of power being required.

A task force was formed for this unique project, which included key Power Electrics personnel who provided technical, operational and commercial expertise, contributing to the delivery of a very successful project.
