“Maintaining Power in the Banking Sector”
The Task
Power Testing Ltd won the maintenance contract for Morgan Stanley’s offices in Canary Wharf. With 5,000 staff, this building is the bank’s European headquarters and it was essential that works were completed promptly outside of banking hours so as not to disrupt trading. This was a huge operation with the maintenance of some 80 circuit breakers and the testing of all protection relays to be completed within a two-day shutdown over the Easter weekend. Our experienced managers kept two shift teams working around the clock and the project was finished, with all works signed off, long before the dawn traders returned.
Project Achievements
