Temporary steam cover
November 1st 2004

When EDF Energy, operator of Cottam Power Station, needed a temporary steam supply, it turned to Watkins Hire.

After initial ,discussions, a site survey was carried out by WHL’s Midlands hire manager, Mark Walton.

It soon became clear that a trailerised steam boiler plant was crucial to EDF Energy if it was to ensure circulation of 44t of heavy oil during the August Bank Holiday.

Detailed planning between WHL and EDF ensured that the mobile boiler plant room was delivered and installed and then commissioned in time for the holiday.

David Owen of EDF confirms that the operation was carried out on time in a professional manner. He says I was very impressed by the high standard of the WHL trailerised unit and the backup from their service division.

Mark Walton comments With over 300 boilers in our rental fleet, we can respond to any request for boiler plant. Every need is individual so our expertise and experience prove vital to the provision of immediate solutions to requirements, from planned shutdowns to emergency situations and long term solutions.
