Case study
Emergency UPS Hire
Industry Data Centres
Client Financial Data Centre, Central London
The challenge
A leading financial services organisation based in Central London operating a mission-critical data centre environment.
When a newly procured permanent UPS system was unexpectedly delayed at the final stage of delivery, the client faced a serious operational risk.
The data centre environment supported critical financial systems where downtime was not an option. With commissioning of the new infrastructure scheduled and IT loads ready to go live, the client urgently required a temporary, fully compliant UPS solution.
Key challenges included:
- Extremely tight deadline – less than 24 hours from initial enquiry to operational requirement
- Mission-critical load – financial trading and transaction systems
- Urban logistics constraints – Central London access and delivery restrictions
- Seamless integration with existing electrical infrastructure
- Short-term but high-reliability requirement (2-week hire period)
Carter Sullivan responded immediately with a fully managed emergency hire solution.
We specified and deployed an Eaton 93PM 100kW UPS configured with:
- 100kW capacity
- 10-minute battery autonomy
- Temporary distribution switchgear
- Fully integrated input/output cabling
- Protection and bypass arrangements suitable for data centre operation
Our scope included:
- Rapid mobilisation within hours of enquiry
- Delivery to Central London site
- Installation and positioning within the data centre environment
- Integration with existing power infrastructure
- Full commissioning and operational validation
The system was delivered, installed, and commissioned within 24 hours of the initial call.
- Data centre load fully supported within 24 hours
- Zero downtime to critical financial systems
- Seamless temporary operation for the full 2-week hire period
- Permanent UPS installation schedule protected
The temporary 100kW UPS system operated reliably for the entire hire duration, providing stable, conditioned power until the delayed permanent solution was delivered and commissioned.
This project demonstrates Carter Sullivan’s capability to:
- Mobilise emergency UPS solutions at extremely short notice
- Deliver turnkey temporary power systems in constrained urban environments
- Support mission-critical financial infrastructure without compromise
When timing is critical and resilience cannot be left to chance, Carter Sullivan provides rapid, engineered solutions that keep business-critical environments online.
