Service: Bespoke Generator Canopy

Background

Challenges

oached by an Airfield in Wales to try and resolve an issue which was unique and required an expert approach to meet Health & Safety and Fire Rating guidelines.

Due to the generator being located close to the sea, the canopy suffers from severe rust caused by salt in the sea air. The canopy has been replaced twice in the past by others, however, the Airfield approached YorPower for a permanent solution. We had two choices of material that doesn’t rust, stainless steel or GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) Kiosks. Due to the costs involved, it was decided that the GRP would offer the best cost-effective solution.

Summary

We attended site and measured up accurately the existing canopy, which included for exhaust outlet, radiator outlet, air inlet and door access. The Kiosk was manufactured by one of our GRP specialists and sent to site. We removed the corroded mild steel canopy and replaced with the pre manufacture GRP Kiosk.
