The Virgin Media Technology Service Centre, a campus facility in Knowsley, UK, was subject to technical upgrading of its supportive infrastructure to better enhance the power resilience to the site.
The existing Diesel Rotary Uninterruptible Power Supplies (DRUPS) technology became extremely expensive to maintain, leading to the decision to upgrade the equipment. Shenton Group was once again entrusted with this project due to an ongoing relationship with previous power installations for Virgin Media.
