Is space an issue?
No where to put the generator?
That’s when a bespoke custom built generator is required and we can help you
Generator installations – Each installation is different. Some buildings have restricted access or may have limited space available for a generator, be it externally located or within the building.
Custom built Generators - You can choose to have your diesel generator built to the available space and ventilation in your building area.. The size of fuel tank, colour etc. and even which control systems you prefer. PowerContinuity systems use engines from all the major generators engine suppliers so you can choose the custom built backup system, that most suites the available space
Site Survey – We will site survey your building at no cost, to allow accurate measurements to establish the most suitable backup generator options in the available space and conditions
Custom built Design – PowerContinuity will design from scratch a purpose built generator system, providing the schematics and electrical drawings that will allow your power protection system to operate within the available space- automatic active power protection.
Custom built Installation within an existing room – PowerContinuity systems engineers have over 25 years of complete installation experience, siteing generator systems in basements, on roofs, on ships, on remote highland sites, each can be custom built to the available space and ventilation available
Generator Maintenance – We not only train your own personnel in the operation of your newly installed automatic power protection system, we also cover the whole system with our 24-7 generator maintenance and emergency call out team.
You have your own requirements - No problem - This is never an issue, PowerContinuity Systems work with the space and location available to arrive at a complete power protection system that meets your companies requirements.

Bespoke built generators – We can custom build any of our generators accordance with the clients requirements into a building –i.e. Retrofit or even build custom made sound attenuation into an existing building – Click here for more information on how PowerContinuity builds sound attenuation into existing buildings.
Custom Generators – Each Custom built Generator can either be fully automatic or manual.
Open set – These are usually installed inside a dedicated room in a basement or ground floor level next to the switch intake. The generator and alternator and fuel tank are all mounted on a heavy duty metal skid. As there is no sound attenuation the noise levels are high.
Canopied set – With sound proofing by means of the acoustic canopy - These are usually installed outside a building in a car park or outside the intake room and 80dbA @ 1 metres noise level
Acoustic and weather proof canopy – With sound proofing by means of the acoustic canopy that is both lockable and weather proof - These are usually installed outside a building in a car park or outside the intake room and 80dbA @ 1 metres noise level
Containerised – With sound proofing by means of the acoustic lined container that is both lockable and weather proof - These are usually installed outside a building in a car park or outside the intake room. Containerised generators are usually larger generators above 500kVA and upward larger sizes and 80dbA @ 1 metres noise level
Custom Built Diesel Fuel Tanks – Made to measure
We can custom build larger fuels tanks in accordance with the clients requirements up to 14 days fuel requirements or more. We can build tanks from 1000 litres up to 100,000 litres.
Custom built Automatic Mains Transfer panel - Built to your specs.
Custom Built Automatic Mains Transfer panel – Each generator that we build comes with a control panel that allows it to be connected to an AMF. An Automatic Mains Transfer panel allows the fully installed power protection to operate without any human involvement. The emergency power system will start up within seconds of a power failure and turn itself off once the grid power has been restored for a stable period of at least 5 minutes. This time period can be adjusted to the conditions of your installation, longer or shorter - Click here for more information on how an Automatic Mains Fail panel works.
We can custom build Automatic Mains Transfer panels to any size and any multiple steps allowing cascading of different floors or equipment to start up in a predetermined sequence.
