Charles Andrews – Replacement Power Box Design

The Challenge

The project required the design of a replacement power distribution unit for a critical site. The existing unit was aging, becoming unreliable, and no longer compliant with current regulations, posing a potential risk to operational continuity. The core challenge was to engineer a modern, compliant replacement that seamlessly integrated with the existing electrical infrastructure, ensuring a zero-downtime cutover and maintaining an uninterrupted power supply to essential services throughout the design and implementation process.

Our Approach

Our approach was methodical and safety-focused. We began with a detailed site survey to capture the exact specifications and load requirements of the existing system. Our design process prioritized creating a future-proof solution that not only met but exceeded current wiring regulations (BS 7671), incorporating enhanced safety features and allowing for potential future load capacity. We engaged in close consultation with Charles Andrews to ensure the final design was perfectly tailored to their specific operational needs and installation timeline.

Results & Impact

The project delivered a fully detailed, manufacture-ready design package for a compliant and robust replacement power box. This provides Charles Andrews with a clear roadmap for a safe and efficient equipment upgrade. The impact is a significant mitigation of operational risk, the elimination of compliance issues, and the assurance of a consistent, reliable power supply. This proactive design work directly safeguards site operations against electrical failure and provides a solid foundation for long-term electrical resilience.
