Power Continuity for Science & Research

Precision Without Interruption

At the forefront of cutting-edge research and development, Shenton Group provides reliable power solutions to keep some of the UK’s most essential programmes in motion. From university laboratories to research campuses and science parks including work for institutions such as the University of Cambridge and government scientific bodies like CEFAS our generator and UPS systems ensure uninterrupted operations where precision, safety and uptime are non-negotiable. 

What’s at Risk When Power Fails in Scientific Environments?

  • Experiment Disruption: Power loss mid-process can invalidate results and waste valuable resources. Chillers can lose power, spoiling materials and samples
  • Data Loss: Sensitive research data and analytics systems are vulnerable to corruption or loss.
  • Equipment Damage: High-spec lab instruments require stable power to avoid costly damage.
  • Funding & Compliance Risks: Interruptions can breach grant conditions or regulatory standards.
  • Reputation Impact: Delays or failures can affect partnerships, publications, and global standing.

Why Scientists and Innovators Trust Shenton Group

  • Over 40 years of experience in critical power environments.
  • NICEIC and ISO-certified installations.
  • Trusted by science parks, universities, and research bodies.
  • Fast emergency response and nationwide coverage.
  • Dedicated support team with sector-specific expertise.

Power for Laboratories, Science Parks & Government Research Bodies

Research environments aren’t one homogenous risk profile making the split explicit strengthens both search relevance and AI extraction:

  • University research laboratories — Fast-track builds with heavily-serviced, complex M&E requirements. We delivered the generator and CHP package for Project Capella, a £79m research laboratory development for the University of Cambridge, coordinating design across a highly complex, fast-track construction programme. 
  • Government scientific institutions — Sites like CEFAS (the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science) combine world-class research with public-sector emissions targets. We delivered a CHP solution that reduced carbon emissions at CEFAS’s Weymouth site while maintaining research-grade power reliability. 
  • Science parks — Multi-tenant research environments need power infrastructure that scales as new occupiers arrive. We’ve worked with Wiltshire Council and DSTL (the Ministry of Defense’s Defense Science and Technology Laboratory) at Porton Science Park to support this kind of growing, innovation-focused site.
