The Opportunity
In early 2016, adi Electrical tendered for its first job with Joseph & Jesse Siddons. The work commenced in February, after adi Electrical successfully won the contract based on its reputation for the quality of its workmanship and the professional level of service. The work involved designing, supplying, updating and installing a 400 amp, three phase power supply for a new state of the art extraction plant facility.
The Solution
Key to adi Electrical’s bespoke upgrade solution was the ability to modify existing 1960s LV switchgear to accommodate new switchboard panels, saving the customer significant expenditure compared to a totally new three phase power installation.
This innovative specialist solution involved utilising adi Electrical’s industry wide knowledge and expertise to source, supply and install a Schneider MG6C6 6W MCCB panel board and incoming main switch within the Patterns building, with associated power supply from the spare switch fuse isolator within existing main LV switchboard to the new MCCB panel. The new MCCB panel board was then populated within 2 x 125A MCCB's for the new power supplies, creating surplus capacity to meet future increased energy requirements as the business grows.
Other work included installing HRC fuses within the existing LV switchboard 400A switch fuse isolator; switchboard modifications and new cable trays onto the building structure to transport the new cables to the panel board. The customer was so pleased with the outcome that adi Electrical is their new outsourced supplier of choice for electrical installation work.
