The Mission: Service and repair the CHP unit at a Pwllheli Holiday Park to restore reliability and optimise energy usage.
Running a holiday park is no small task, and keeping the lights on is non-negotiable. At one of Bourne Leisure’s flagship holiday parks in Pwllheli, the CHP system is key to powering the park, ensuring everything from heating to guest facilities runs smoothly. When damaged lagging, corroded components, and wiring issues began causing problems, Bourne Leisure appointed Canning to resolve the issues. We understand the importance of operational continuity in the hospitality sector, where downtime is not acceptable.
The Solution
Bourne Leisure called on Canning to fix its CHP system as operational issues had begun to place the park’s operations at risk. Damaged lagging and corroded starter motor relay components needed urgent attention, while signal loss from faulty wiring was causing trips. The system also required a crucial coolant change, and the timing gear cover seal needed replacing to prevent further issues. Bourne Leisure required a reliable partner to restore the system to full operational capacity.
Initial Inspection
The project commenced with a comprehensive service of the CHP unit. Our team replaced the damaged lagging, along with the corroded starter motor relay and crimp, to restore the system’s basic functionality. Addressing these immediate issues was the first step towards stabilising the unit and preventing further damage.
"Through Canning’s technical expertise and structured approach, the CHP system at this Bourne Leisure Holiday Park has been fully restored to optimal performance.”
System Optimisation
Next, we tackled signal loss issues that were causing system trips. By swapping out the speed pickup wiring, we eliminated the problem, ensuring smoother operations. To further improve system performance, we carried out a full coolant change and replaced the timing gear cover seal, safeguarding the unit from future leaks.
Maintenance & Final Checks
To extend the system’s longevity, our team undertook cleaning procedures and replaced the pressure vessel, reinforcing the CHP’s structural integrity. Once all the work was done, we ran a series of thorough tests to confirm the system was operating reliably prior to sign-off.
Conclusion
Through Canning’s technical expertise and structured approach, the CHP system at this Bourne Leisure Holiday Park has been fully restored to optimal performance. By replacing damaged components, fixing wiring issues, and carrying out critical maintenance, we’ve ensured the system is ready to deliver reliable energy long-term.
This project was not limited to immediate repairs but focused on future-proofing the system to support the park’s operational demands. Bourne Leisure can now focus on what they do best, knowing their energy infrastructure is in safe hands. This reflects Canning’s ethos: restoring power and building resilience.
