YorPower Delivers First-Class Service At Leeds Railway Station
YorPower, the provider of back-up power solutions both nationally and internationally, have completed Phase 1 of a project at Leeds Railway Station.
Phase 1 of the project involved the decommissioning of an existing back-up power solution and the installation of a 30kVA Riello UPS (uninterruptible power supply) unit and battery. The previous Emerson UPS lasted for a three-year lifespan due to its location and the conditions in which it was housed. The new Riello UPS is a more robust industrial unit.
The decommissioning and installation took two and a half days. The team of four engineers from YorPower returned for a two-hour evening shift to commission the new unit while the station was running a reduced service.
The only challenge the team encountered during the project was from the human traffic within the station. YorPower’s engineers had a lot of hardware to get up to the first floor of the station; as this had to be done while trains were operating, it meant negotiating through the crowds of people, which was difficult but was completed safely and successfully.
YorPower has since set up a maintenance contract which will see their engineers make two visits per year to service this UPS and all other units on site (nine in total).
What Does Phase 2 Involve?
Phase 2 will see the replacement of another 30kVA UPS on site at the station. This UPS provides back-up power for all the screens throughout the station. The client has requested that this is done during two night shifts when the reduced service is running due to the installation being on a main platform, with limited room for both members of the public and Yorpower staff. Safety is paramount.
