Our skilled professionals are experts in all matters relating to electrical systems and Uptime Institute Tier topologies. mtu is a preferred partner at many Tier-accredited data centers around the world.
Critical process manufacturing
An unstable power supply can lead to situations from which it may be difficult to recover. Think about interrupted production runs, wastage, process restart costs, equipment damage, missed deadlines and data loss all leading to financial ripples. Preparation is the only way to mitigate the risk including having the right UPS technology and partner in place.
Many leading pharmaceuticals, petro-chemical, semi-conductor, electronics, mining and processing, printing and media, plastics and textiles, life sciences and biomedical companies across the globe rely on mtu Kinetec PowerPacks. We protect any industry with critical processes from downtime resulting from an unstable power supply.
Infrastructure
We rely on vital services every day – transportation, power, water and sewage, communications, education and governance. Government and defense must function without interruption. Universities carrying out cutting-edge research need to be protected from fluctuating power or power loss to ensure irreplaceable data and research safety.
Broadcasters may have a duty to governments to ensure they can transmit during times of crisis in the interest of public safety. It requires robust electrical networks and resilient critical power support systems to ensure the cameras keep rolling. mtu Kinetic PowerPacks provide critical, behind-the-scenes support to all these functions ensuring they run as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
Healthcare
In the healthcare sector, an uninterruptible power supply can be a matter of life and death. Just imagine the impact of a power outage or malfunctioning electrical systems that prevent operating rooms and incubators from working - something you don’t even want to contemplate. Therefore, we see it as our driving force to keep your surgical facilities, care units, diagnostic devices, monitors and information systems powered. Whether in acute or long-term care, we will help your healthcare facility focus on patients, giving them the best possible treatment and care they need.
Keeping your power supply in perfect health, mtu Kinetic PowerPacks offer a wide range of advantages.
Featured Case Studies
BBC Wales
In the summer of 2017, we installed a dynamic UPS system for the new BBC building in the heart of Cardiff, Wales. The £100m construction in Central Square, designed by Foster & Partners, is one of the most significant developments undertaken in Wales. It is needless to say uninterrupted power is critical at the facility, not only home to 1200 BBC staff, but also some of the most advanced broadcasting technologies and equipment.
A well-considered selection process followed. Apart from uninterrupted power, efficient use of space was vital in the BBC’s decision. The reason for the importance of this efficiency was, unlike its solution, slightly straight forward: to meet planning regulations, the BBC needed sufficient parking space in the building’s basement.
Wellcome Trust
In one of our recent projects, we installed a dynamic UPS system at the Sanger Institute campus. The Wellcome Trust Sanger Genome Campus is home to some of the world’s leading institutes and organizations in genomics and computational biology, committed to delivering life-changing science with the reach, scale and imagination to overcome some of humanity’s most significant challenges.
Their IT infrastructure is one of the most advanced globally, contains data research from every corner of the world and has to be accessible at all times. The key challenges in this project were retaining the beautiful natural scenery and the completion of the scheme with a reduced carbon footprint.
Suez Canal Corridor
The Suez Canal Corridor Project in Egypt aims to capitalize on the Suez Canal, creating an integrated industrial and logistics zone to boost Egypt’s economic growth. The project chose to rely on the resilience of dynamic UPS. A quick and easy link between both banks of the canal was essential in this project. Thus, the developers have planned the construction of high capacity road and rail tunnels at three locations: Port Said (North), Suez (South) and Ismailia (halfway between the two others).
With a total length of 5.8 km, its deepest point reaching 53 m under sea level, an internal diameter of 11.4 m and two lanes in each direction, the Ismailia Twintube Road Tunnel is undoubtedly the most impressive part of the development. Especially considering the environmental challenges faced, as temperatures rise to up to 40°C and large amounts of sand have to be dealt with.
