"The movement of the Generators and UPS not only needed to be carried out quickly but also without exposing our World Information Systems to power outages’ ‘Merlin efficiently and methodically carried out the work over a two week period and ensured that the standby power system was fully operational at our new HQ 24 hours before we moved over our staff and equipment."

Bob Kirkham, Commercial Director at Dimensions Data Advanced Infrastructure.

Dimensions Data is a specialist IT services and solutions provider that helps clients plan, build and support their IT infrastructures.

When the company decided to relocate from Sunbury to a new purpose built headquarters at Fleet, Hampshire, it was important that it’s existing and new business critical IT infrastructure and communications equipment remained safeguarded and protected from power outages during every stage of the relocation process.

The Merlin Projects Dept. were asked to move the two existing diesel Generators, and UPS to the new location.

To start the project Merlin installed a temporary 200kVA diesel Generator to support the Sunbury building whilst the companies existing 200kVA Generator was removed and modified to bring it up to the most recent performance standards. This set together with a more recently purchased 103kVA Scorpion Generator was then transported to the new Fleet HQ and mounted on the new purpose laid concrete base previously installed by Merlin during earlier work. All electrical cabling work associated with the Generators and UPS was undertaken at Fleet together with the installation of approx 50 metres of new cable underground and up the side of the building to the third floor switch room.

Using specialist sub-contractors, a new 120kVA UPS and battery weighing approx 1500kG was installed together with the Generator AMF panels.

Finally the Generators were fuelled, load bank tested and the complete standby power system fully commissioned
