The Mission: Restore the reliability of a leading Eastbourne supermarket's UPS system by replacing faulty engine starting batteries and ensuring seamless operation for the retail facility.
For a busy retail environment, uninterrupted power isn’t just a convenience, it’s a necessity. The UPS system acts as a safety net, keeping operations running smoothly even during power outages. When issues with the engine starting batteries put the reliability of this critical system at risk, City FM called on Canning to step in and sort it. At Canning, we know how vital it is to keep the power flowing in retail – because when the lights stay on, the doors stay open.
The Solution
A leading Eastbourne supermarket faced significant reliability concerns with its UPS system, with faulty engine starting batteries threatening the system’s performance. These issues posed a risk to the smooth operation of the store, underscoring the need for urgent intervention. Canning was called in to help.
Dynamic Risk Assessment
Our team began by conducting a detailed Dynamic Risk Assessment, ensuring all safety protocols were in place and potential risks were addressed. With safety as a top priority, the site was secured to prepare for the necessary work.
“With the UPS system back in top form, this store can continue its operations without worrying about potential power disruptions.”
Isolating & Replacing Components
Next, the panel was isolated, and both engine starting batteries were carefully removed and replaced. This step was carried out with precision, ensuring the new components were installed seamlessly.
Once the new batteries were in place, we ran the generator off-load for 10 minutes, carefully monitoring its performance. This thorough test ensured the UPS system was functioning optimally under controlled conditions.
Final Checks & Reinstatement
With the generator performing as expected, the panel was reinstated, and a post-installation check was conducted. Every aspect of the UPS system was scrutinised to ensure it was running smoothly and met all required specifications.
Conclusion
Thanks to Canning’s swift and efficient intervention, this Eastbourne supermarket’s UPS system is now equipped with reliable new engine starting batteries, restoring its full functionality.
The successful off-load run demonstrated the generator’s readiness, and the system was seamlessly returned to auto mode upon completion. With the UPS system back in top form, this store can continue its operations without worrying about potential power disruptions.
