Case Study – Utilities – Water
Quick response ensures water continues to flow in Welsh village
The Problem
AnyDrive356 received a call from a client with a request to help with the repairs to a burst pipe.
A team of four engineers immediately attended the site, taking one of Central’s Hire Fleet with them.
The Hire Fleet comprises drives from 2.2KW up to 400KW, and on this occasion a drive was hired to run a 4-20 signal on the pressure transducers.
The Solution
The action taken by Central Group’s team ensured the work to the burst pipe could continue without affecting the water supply to the residents of the town.
All work was completed in a period of six hours, from initial call out to final solution.
Case Study – Construction
Drive gets back up and running
The Problem
At 9am on Easter Sunday, Central Group received a call from Hanson Cement in Mold.
The site’s electrical engineer was calling to report that the site was down due to a 250kw drive failing.
The Solution
Central’s Service Manager went straight to the workshop where a identical, spare drive was loaded onto the van and taken to the site.
The old drive was removed to be repaired and the spare drive installed and commissioned.
Case Study – Maintenance
Smooth running at Cambridgeshire site
The Problem
