Containerised Solutions for O'Donnell Griffin

Tuesday, August 31, 2010

Genpower Australia designed and manufactured the two co-joined container sets with access facility between the two containers and lift off doors. Each side had to meet OH&S standards for access of 900mm and weight of each door less than 25kgs each. These sets were built to specific site noise requirement of 65 dBA @ 7M as well as client colour.
O’Donnell Grffin (ODG) are a leading Australian electrical engineering and contracting business that was founded in 1906. O’Donnell Griffin operates throughout Australia from a network of offices in major capital cities and regional locations. ODG came to Genpower Australia for a specific power generation requirement for the University of New South Wales Randwick campus.

Below are just some of the unique requirements that Genpower Australia and ODG provided for this project.

  • 65 dBA @ 7 metres
  • 2 x 635 kVA FG Wilson diesel generator
  • Customised doors to lift out due to space restrictions
  • Generator control panels moved to opposite side
  • Specific colour to match surrounding
  • Other minimal project specific requirements

Their facility, team and attitude to “do it right” were instrumental in partnering with Genpower Australia to make these projects so successful.”
