We understand that generators are a significant investment, and we ensure a smooth installation process for each customer. Our specialists will assess your site, identify any access issues, and create a tailored plan to ensure an efficient service:
Load Assessment & Site Survey: The first step is assessing your site's infrastructure, existing supply, and critical load requirements. This includes analysing starting currents, equipment, and output requirements.
Specification & Sizing: Once we understand your load profile, a specialist will advise on the generator size that best suits your current and future needs.
Positioning & Access Planning: Our specialists plan everything from delivery and offloading to generator positioning. We factor in your site's location, arrange truck delivery or cranes (if needed), and ensure a streamlined process.
ATS Integration & Changeover: Changeover switches offer a smooth transition from main to standby power. We'll install and configure the ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) for you.
Fuel Storage & Bunding: Fuel compliance is important for homes, but it's vital for businesses. With a range of fuel bunding and storage options, we'll advise how to reduce the risks of contamination and maintain a healthy fuel supply.
Commissioning & Documentation Handover: Once your generator is installed, we fully commission the system. The process includes verifying the ATS's operation, running it under load, and issuing all required compliance documentation.
Maintenance Plan Option: Our customers can also benefit from affordable maintenance packages that protect their investment.
Basingstoke has a mix of industrial and commercial environments, so generator installation is rarely one-size-fits-all. We factor in the following local considerations when delivering and installing your generator:
M3 and A33 access: Basingstoke is a highly accessible location due to the M3 and A33. However, we still need to plan deliveries and offloading to avoid disruptions.
Business Parks and Industrial Estates: Chineham Business Park has complex layouts. We factor in shared access roads, multiple occupants, and routing constraints before ordering any equipment.
Residential Proximity: Residential zones have noise restrictions, and businesses in these areas must comply with them. We can supply soundproof canopies and will position the generator to avoid disruptions. We factor this in when helping you choose a generator and arranging the installation.
