Power Optimisers for Holkham

A case study about our expertise at work in the Industrial sector

Power Management Design and Build had the pleasure of designing and manufacturing an Eco-Volt 100kVA power optimiser which was supplied through E2 Services for installation for use at Holkham.

Shortly afterwards, we manufactured a much larger Eco-Volt 500kVA power optimiser which was also supplied through E2 Services for use on a different part of the estate where leisure and visitor amenities are located.

Both power optimisers have given trouble free service for over four years, helping the estates team to enjoy cost reductions on the power needed to run the estate.

Holkham Hall in North Norfolk is the home of the Coke family and the Earls of Leicester. The hall sits amid the beautiful Holkham Estate which, in recent years, has expanded to include a holiday park, three cafés, several shops and an internationally acclaimed hotel.

There are opera and chamber music performances in the Marble Hall throughout the year and an open-air concert in the deer park during the summer, as well as an annual Country Fair.

Consultancy and High Voltage for ISG

A case study about our expertise at work in the Industrial sector

Power Management Design and Build was called in by KpH Environmental Services Ltd to work on the 11kV network for 20 Old Bailey, London EC4M 7BH, a prestigious office address opposite the Central Criminal Courts in London. 

Kph Environment Services was commissioned to remove mechanical and electrical services ahead of the new fit out works by ISG plc, the prime contractor for Blackstone.

Our project included visits by one of our Senior Authorised Persons and one of our Authorised Persons to assess the status of the high voltage switchboard which fed the 4 x 11kV transformers.

Switching operations were undertaken to suit the schedule of works. One 11kV transformer was isolated and earthed and we issued the necessary documentation to allow the safe disconnection and removal of the associated low voltage switchboard. 

A second transformer was restored to operation so that there would be sufficient lighting on the upper floors to allow strip out works to be undertaken safely. All of the High Voltage switching operations were completed across a Bank Holiday weekend.

The result was the successful completion of the electrical services for KpH Environmental Services, enabling ISG to make a prompt turnaround to the £59million scheme.

Savings and Efficiency for Denny Bros

A case study about our expertise at work in the Industrial sector

Denny Bros, a global leader in multi-page labelling and printing solutions for pharmaceutical, agro-chemical and retail sectors, achieved registration to ISO 14001 in 2008 has been systematically reducing energy use across the business. 

This has been achieved through a number of separate initiatives including photovoltaics, lighting upgrades, heating management and improved building insulation.

Voltage Optimisation manufactured by Power Management Design and Build was specified and installed in conjunction with the photovoltaics in March 2014. The installation process was well managed with no overrun.

"Installing the VO Unit has resulted in a reduction in energy usage of 14% since installation. Combining this with PV has reduced our total usage by around 25% which is fantastic, and will provide an overall payback of around 3 years. It is anticipated that there will be other benefits of the VO system in reducing loading on the fixed wire installation and controlling power surges in the factory" said Julian Colman, Quality and Environmental Manager at Denny Bros.

“It really is satisfying hearing back from Denny Bros with such great results and positive feedback about the work we have done. Reducing energy costs and carbon footprint is our core business and something we pride ourselves in achieving for all our clients” Lee said Lee Gardner, Director of Power Management Design and Build.
