Consultancy and Installation for BBC World Service

A case study about our expertise at work in the Media and Entertainment sector

Power Management Design and Build was flown out to Cyprus by the BBC for an urgent intervention they needed on the power system that supplied the British East Mediterranean Relay Station (BEMRS) at Zygi, east of Limassol. The engagement came from a recommendation made by Andy West Associates.

The transmitter station is one of the largest of its kind in the world and broadcasts programmes created by BBC World Service in London.

Daily at 1400 GMT all transmitters are required simultaneously which means the working environment had to be very carefully managed without delays in reinstating any transmitter.

The project included replacing the vacuum bottle in the GEC 11kV circuit breakers, some of which had completed over 30,000 switching cycles.

We were responsible to oversee and sign the project off on behalf of the BBC, having satisfied ourselves that the team, including Areva T&D and site personnel, had completed the works. The intervention was delivered successfully and ahead of deadline.

Power Management Design and Build was commissioned by E2 Services on behalf of Microsoft UK to deliver a large asset replacement project covering transformers, switchgear and generator control.

The work covered Microsoft's Thames Valley Park campus (TVP 1 - TVP 5) and was delivered without any business interruption to any staff based at TVP or visiting TVP during the installation phases. 

Harmonic mitigation for stage lighting for Royal Opera House

A senior consultant at Power Management Design and Build was called in by the Royal Opera House to work alongside their prime contractors Ove Arup and Schneider Electric.

The project was well advanced and the opening night was quickly approaching but sign-off by the distribution network operator (DNO) could not go ahead without an intervention that they deemed necessary. 

By identifying the pre-load characteristics and by supplying and installing the proper remedial equipment, Power Management Design and Build consultants were able to assemble a team to work across weekends with just two shutdowns.

As a result the stage lighting was approved for operation by EDF. 

"Your work assured the re-opening of the Royal Opera House could go ahead on time," said Mark White, Regional Manager at ETC Ltd.
