A selection of what we’ve done.
Every operator here is anonymised. We name no client, ever, in anything public, see our data commitment. Every figure is net of any offsetting cost the solution introduced, because a saving that ignores those isn’t a saving.
Backup infrastructure running far more than it needed to
Two generators that wouldn’t work together
A commercial operator ran two independent backup generators on incompatible control systems. Coordination failures, fuel waste, and no way to enforce a shutdown time.
We designed an orchestration layer that sequences both units, coordinates load sharing, enforces a simultaneous cutoff and fails over automatically — without replacing either generator. Saving over $8,000 a month, payback under four months.
A commercial operator was spending approximately $32,000 a month on one site, fuel, maintenance and utility combined. The generator ran whenever the grid was unavailable and kept running until it returned. No time limit, no storage, nothing deciding when it should and shouldn’t run.
We specified a hybrid inverter and battery system with a hard time-based cutoff enforced by two independent controllers that must agree before the generator can start. Nothing was replaced.
Net saving $5,950 a month. Fuel and maintenance dropped by roughly $18,000, but more grid power is now being bought, and the number that matters is what’s left after that. Payback under twelve months. At twelve-month review: 99.2% uptime, zero failures, no battery degradation.
Twenty-two sites, no two the same
A property management group operating 22 sites across several property types had inconsistent uptime, recurring failures in critical systems, and no operational standards anywhere in the portfolio.
Load priority logic so that lifts, fire systems and water never drop first. Predictive maintenance schedules. Documented escalation paths. Applied across every site.
Unplanned downtime down by over 80%, and the portfolio had a common standard for the first time.
One specification, different hardware
A multi-site retail operator was running diesel generators continuously through grid outages with no intelligent load management, at roughly $6,000 a month per site.
The two sites ran entirely different generator brands and capacities. We deployed the same control specification across both — because a standard means one design behaviour, not one part number.
35% reduction in generator runtime and diesel per site. 100% uptime through the transition, and a battery-only contingency covering five to six hours of full operating load.
No backup at all, and no room for error
An operator in a high-sensitivity, zero-tolerance environment had no backup power and faced compounding reputational, contractual and operational risk, against a penalty-bearing deadline.
We managed site assessment through to commissioning end to end in three weeks, delivered with days in reserve and zero incidents across every risk dimension, and negotiated a maintenance agreement at handover to protect reliability afterwards.
Critical facilities — protecting what actually needs protecting
A laboratory operator had no formal restoration plan for its critical systems: temperature-sensitive sample storage, data systems and site security. Recovery depended entirely on the standby generator and its automatic transfer switch, with no measured recovery window.
We put the critical load on its own phase, added a mechanically interlocked manual changeover and a solar-assisted battery and inverter system, and finished the job in a week.
Proven for real, not just designed. When the generator itself later needed repair, the critical systems kept running automatically with zero downtime, backed by a contracted rental unit and a same-day off-the-shelf fallback that didn’t rely on any one supplier being available. Five years on, with quarterly maintenance and no complaints.
A single point of failure, closed
An office running critical servers had one weak link: if the standby generator or its transfer switch failed, there was no path to an alternative supply.
We installed phase-selection switching on the critical circuits, so load can move onto whichever phase is live, backed by a dedicated standby cooling unit and clear phase and load indication.
Tested properly, not just installed. A full simulated loss of supply, mains and generator both down at once. Regular office staff, not electricians, completed the manual phase rotation in 30 minutes using the indication lights, well inside the two-hour buffer the server room’s own UPS already provided.
