The Mission: Fix a non-rotating starter motor issue in the CHP system at Seton Sands Holiday Park.
When running a holiday park, ensuring visitors have a positive experience relies on uninterrupted power supply, making reliability essential. At a Seton Sands holiday park, their Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system keeps things powered efficiently. But when the system failed to start, it was clear there was an issue with the starter motor.
Bourne Leisure needed an expert team to diagnose the problem, carry out repairs, and make sure the system was back in top working order – and called in Canning to resolve the issue.
The Solution
Investigation
A non-rotating starter motor meant the CHP system could not start when required. Bourne Leisure called us out to carry out an investigation and solve the problem. If left unresolved, this could have caused bigger problems down the line, potentially impacting energy efficiency and reliability at the holiday park.
Our engineers arrived on-site and carried out a full inspection to get to the root of the problem. The fault was traced to a detached link wire crimp at the solenoid terminal, which was promptly rectified to restore functionality and prevent further issues.
Repairs & Maintenance
Once we had identified the fault, we wasted no time getting it sorted. The crimp was replaced, ensuring the starter motor could rotate properly and that the system could start up as expected. To keep everything in top condition, we also topped up the water levels and wiped down the bund, making sure the CHP system was clean and prepped for use.
Final Checks
With the park temporarily closed, we left the system switched off but prepped for the future. Now, when the holidaymakers return, the CHP system will be ready and waiting to keep the lights on and the energy flowing, without complication.

Conclusion
At Canning, we focus not only on resolving immediate faults but also on ensuring long-term reliability. With this holiday park’s CHP system now back in working order, Bourne Leisure can continue operations with confidence in reliable backup power availability.
This project reflects Canning’s commitment to delivering dependable power solutions across every site.
