Beard Construction, engaged to develop new and existing engineering facilities at Richmond upon Thames College (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 their first-choice provider.

Challenge

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.

Solution

• Following a detailed site survey, the Star Power team provided a tailored power solution, including:
• Primary Generator Installation: A high-capacity generator was installed to meet the engineering department’s initial power requirements.
• Backup Power Supply: An additional generator was provided to ensure redundancy and safeguard against potential disruptions.
• Comprehensive Support: Star Power’s proactive approach facilitated a seamless transition and dependable power supply for both the commissioning and operational stages.

Benefits of the Solution

• Operational Continuity: The engineering department’s facilities were powered on schedule, ensuring readiness for the new term.
• Reliability: The inclusion of a backup generator minimised the risk of power interruptions.
• Client Trust: Beard Construction recognised Star Power’s expertise and responsiveness, strengthening an ongoing partnership.

Client Feedback

Oli Kenworthy, Beard Construction: “Matt and his team acted professionally throughout the process of sizing, surveying, and installing the generator here at the RuTC.
