Utilities installation, supply and monitoring
DEP has been working with Rutherford Cancer centres for a number of years now.
Installed a new 1800 KVA electricity supply at the Reading, Liverpool and Northumberland cancer centres. Then went on to install new gas supplies including installing new Itron U65 meters across their whole portfolio.
DEP were then asked to install energy monitoring equipment at their Reading centre. The technology has now enabled their estates team to understand clearly when, where and how electricity was being used.
Country Haylage
A West Country haylage producer that manages 700 acres of grassland, providing forage for the equestrian sector. The business used to run a 150kva supply diesel generator to power balers, compactors and packing machines.
The rising cost of diesel prompted Country Haylage to ask DEP to install a main supply.
