Powering progress

Star Power recently provided tailored support for Richmond upon Thames College’s (RuTC) engineering facilities.

Beard Construction, engaged
to develop new and existing engineering facilities at RuTC, required a dependable temporary power solution. Initially contracted to support building commissioning works, the project scope expanded to include operational power for the college’s engineering department due to delays
from a statutory authority. This development reinforced Beard Construction’s confidence in Star Power, establishing the company as its first-choice provider.

A statutory authority delay jeopardised the commissioning
of two educational buildings, critical for the new term. This setback necessitated a responsive and reliable temporary power solution to bridge the gap and maintain progress.

Following a detailed site survey, the Star Power team provided a tailored power solution.

A high-capacity generator was installed to meet the engineering department’s initial power requirements, while an additional generator was provided to ensure redundancy and safeguard against potential disruptions.

Star Power’s proactive approach facilitated a seamless transition and dependable power supply for both the commissioning and operational stages.
