When vandals strike, the consequences for industrial sites can be devastating. Recently, a large factory in Dandenong South was left completely off supply after thieves damaged the site and stole copper mains, halting production entirely.
GENGEAR was contacted to provide an urgent backup power solution to get the factory operational again while remedial works were carried out.
Rapid Response and Generator Deployment
Our team quickly mobilised a 250 kVA generator, fuel tank, and temporary fencing to secure the site. Power was restored by cabling into an undamaged switchboard, allowing essential operations to resume.
Remedial Works and Ongoing Support
Due to the nature of the theft and the age of the existing electrical installation, extensive remedial works were required to restore the site fully. While the site’s electrical contractor organised and carried out these essential repairs, GENGEAR’s in-house team provided continuous support by monitoring and refuelling the generator 24/7, ensuring the factory could maintain production without interruption.
This close collaboration demonstrates how GENGEAR integrates seamlessly with external electrical contractors, providing reliable backup power while allowing specialist teams to focus on their core remediation work. To further protect the site, we also installed our temporary lighting and security system, helping deter future theft attempts.
