Home » Case Study: Delivering Rapid-Response Temporary Power Solution

Client Overview

Sector: Manufacturing / Aerospace
Location: Southwest England, UK


Project Overview

A leading facilities services provider recently approached Shenton Group for a rapid response temporary power solution to support essential weekend testing at a major aerospace manufacturing site. The site required reliable temporary power to maintain operational continuity and protect sensitive materials throughout the planned works.

With only a week’s notice, Shenton Group delivered a resilient, fully managed system that ensured seamless power throughout the testing period, enabling the manufacturer to proceed without disruption or delay.

The Challenge

The aerospace manufacturer had scheduled critical testing across a weekend. These activities required a stable and uninterrupted power supply to prevent:

  • Interruption to vital operational processes
  • Risk of sensitive or high-value materials becoming spoiled
  • Delays to essential testing programmes
  • Potential cost implications associated with downtime

A week before the work was due to begin, it became clear that no temporary power arrangements had been made. The facilities services provider required a dependable partner who could:

  • Respond immediately
  • Provide a reliable and resilient backup power setup
  • Deliver, install, and commission all equipment within a tight timeframe
  • Achieve this with zero impact on ongoing site operations

Our Temporary Power Solution and Rapid Deployment

Shenton Group quickly mobilised and deployed a robust power package designed to meet the site’s load demands and resilience requirements:

  • 2 × 800 kVA generators (N+1 resilience scenario)
  • 1 × 200 kVA generator
  • Full delivery, setup, and commissioning within the one-week window

This configuration ensured:

  • Full redundancy via N+1 protection
  • Continuous power availability
  • A stable and dependable supply throughout the testing period

Our engineering team attended the site immediately, conducted a detailed assessment, and coordinated all logistics to ensure the system was in place ahead of the scheduled works.

Results of the Rapid Power Deployment

The temporary power solution operated flawlessly for the duration of the testing programme, enabling the manufacturer to:

  • Complete all scheduled testing on time
  • Maintain full operational continuity
  • Prevent material spoilage or delays
  • Carry out business-critical activities without interruption

Despite the extremely short notice period, Shenton Group ensured a smooth, reliable, and efficient delivery from planning through to completion.
