A critical infrastructure site in the outer suburbs of Melbourne required a temporary power solution, but site constraints presented a unique challenge: the generator needed to be positioned over existing equipment and structures without disrupting ongoing operations.
Custom Generator Hire Solution
GENGEAR was called to supply a generator capable of powering the site while maintaining operational continuity. Due to limited space and the critical nature of the infrastructure, a crane lift was necessary to safely place the generator in the required location.
Collaboration with External Crane Contractor
To execute the lift safely and efficiently, GENGEAR engaged a trusted external crane contractor. Our team coordinated closely with them, providing site access, planning the lift path, and ensuring all safety protocols were in place. This collaboration allowed the generator to be lifted over sensitive equipment and positioned precisely where it was needed.
Electrical Installation and Compliance
Once in place, GENGEAR’s in-house electricians assisted the site’s own electrical team with all cabling, temporary switchboard connections, and prescribed inspections. A Certificate of Electrical Safety was issued, ensuring the temporary installation met all compliance standards while allowing the client’s electricians to remain supported and involved throughout the process.
24/7 Monitoring and Fuel Management
With the generator operational, GENGEAR provided continuous monitoring and refueling, keeping the site fully powered until permanent mains supply was restored or upgraded.
Seamless Turnkey Service
By working closely with both the external crane contractor and the site’s own electricians, GENGEAR demonstrated its ability to integrate with third-party specialists while delivering a full turnkey temporary power solution. The client benefited from a safe, efficient, and minimally disruptive installation, ensuring critical infrastructure operations continued uninterrupted.
Result: The site maintained reliable backup power throughout the project, highlighting GENGEAR’s expertise in handling complex temporary power installations with precision and professionalism.
