Project Details

Client: Centre Parcs

Location: Whinfell Forest

Scope: Installation of 10 generators

Key Equipment: 1250KVA generator, 120-ton crane, transport wagon

Challenges and Solutions

Logistics and Transportation

Challenge: Transporting a 25-ton generator across a forested site.

Solution: Logic organized a 120-ton crane and a specialized transport wagon to move the generator and its exhaust system safely and efficiently.

Installation

Challenge: Positioning a 1250KVA generator within a confined substation area.

Solution: The generator, built inside a container, was carefully lifted and placed into its final position using the crane. This required precise coordination and expert handling to ensure safety and accuracy.

Execution

The largest generator, a 1250KVA unit weighing 25 tons, was successfully lifted and positioned on-site. This critical step was completed on schedule, ensuring the project remained on track. The use of a 120-ton crane was pivotal in manoeuvring the heavy equipment through the site’s challenging terrain.

Outcome

The installation of the generators at Centre Parcs, Whinfell Forest, was completed successfully, enhancing the site’s power reliability and capacity. The project demonstrated Logic’s capability to handle complex logistical challenges and deliver high-quality results.
