Pleavin Power Limited, one of the UK’s leading power generation service providers, sells, rents, and provides parts and services for equipment and engines to customers across various industries. These include hospitals, data centres, prime power end-users, and a wide range of critical, prime, and standby power systems applications. Their commitment to excellence extends to offering a comprehensive refuelling service, crucial for maintaining 24/7 generator operations. Recently, Pleavin Power faced a significant challenge that threatened their ability to uphold this service standard.
The company had acquired an old tanker from a customer in Scotland, which had served them well but was equipped with an obsolete LC3 metre system. This metre, once reliable, had become problematic and, despite diligent maintenance efforts, eventually failed catastrophically. This failure rendered the tanker inoperative at a critical moment, just as Pleavin Power was preparing to fulfil a major contract requiring a fully serviced generator by July 28th.
Faced with the potential inability to meet their contractual obligations, Pleavin Power urgently sought a solution. Jack Pleavin contacted Alpeco for assistance. Recognising the urgency of the situation, Alpeco swiftly proposed a robust solution: the installation of a TEX retrofit register and kit.
Pleavin Power’s skilled engineers began by removing the failed LC3 register and its ancillary components. They then seamlessly installed the TEX replacement; the entire process took less than a day to complete. Alpeco’s engineers followed up with an on-site visit to wire the new installation, commission the system, and calibrate the metre to ensure precise fuel measurement and delivery.
This collaboration not only provided a quick and effective solution but also significantly enhanced the tanker’s capabilities. The TEX retrofit kit, known for its reliability and advanced technology, gave the old tanker a new lease on life. Despite the tight timelines, the installation was completed smoothly, allowing Pleavin Power to meet their commitment and start the contract on time.
The successful retrofit underscored the importance of having reliable partners and advanced technology in maintaining operational efficiency. Pleavin Power’s ability to adapt quickly and leverage Alpeco’s expertise ensured that they continued to deliver top-tier service to their clients without interruption. The newly equipped tanker now stands as a testament to both companies’ dedication to quality and innovation.
In conclusion, the integration of Alpeco’s TEX retrofit kit into Pleavin Power’s operations not only resolved an immediate crisis but also positioned Pleavin Power to offer even more reliable and efficient fuel services in the future.
