What plans do you have in place in the event of a critical temperature control system failure?
Are you prepared?
Watkins Hire the UK’s number one specialist temperature control rental company would like to introduce its Temperature Control Emergency Planning Service (TCEPS).
TCEPS has been introduced to assist all our clients that rely on steam, hot water, heating or cooling for uninterrupted business continuity.
Failure of existing temperature control plant, steam and hot water systems can have disastrous consequences including downtime, closure of facilities, financial penalties, loss of revenue and a failure to provide a duty of care.
Our three levels of plan can be tailored to your own individual requirements to ensure that you are fully covered in the event of an emergency. Each level of plan will have a unique reference number which is quoted at the time of any emergency call off ensuring a timely response and reducing any downtime to a minimum.
Our TCEPS service is designed to offer total peace of mind by providing you with a dedicated free phone number for enquiries and also emergency call offs. This will give you access to call off your reserved equipment (dependant on plan level), arrange full installation, commissioning and transport planning and fuel management for the duration of the requirement using our unique GSM telemetry service and 24/7 365 day cover.
There are three levels of plan as follows:
Bronze Level
- Visit to site to carry out a comprehensive survey of all temperature control plant and hot water systems.
- Production of a detailed emergency plan highlighting equipment required in the event of a failure, siting of temporary equipment, access required, power requirements, connections required in existing pipe work, full RAMS for both delivery and installation of equipment and full contact details and escalation process.
- Plan uploaded onto our systems in readiness for call off.
- Plan valid for a 12 month period.
Silver Level
- As bronze but then also includes specified equipment ring fenced at an agreed location ready for immediate call off in the event of a failure, guaranteeing availability and drastically reducing response times.
- Charge for the initial survey and production of the emergency plan document refunded if Silver level plan taken.
- Monthly invoiced charge for ring fencing the specified equipment
- Minimum 6 month contract
Gold Level
- As Silver but also includes an element of inclusive hire period dependant of the length of the contract.
- Charge for the initial survey and production of the emergency plan document refunded if Gold level plan taken.
- Monthly invoiced charge for ring fencing the specified equipment.
- Minimum 6 month contract
We can also quote for any pipe work adaptations and remedial works if required.
The annual cost for the Bronze level survey and production of the plan is dependent on the size of the site in question and number of plant rooms ( this charge would be refundable should the survey progress to either a Silver or Gold plan following our recommendations detailed in the Bronze level plan).
The plan can also form part of your companies Business Continuity Plan which could even assist by reducing Business Interruption and Income insurance premiums.
Since the launch of our Temperature Control Service we have had many inquiries and now have numerous plans in place for clients across many industry sectors. These clients include dairies, manufacturing sites, bakeries, major supermarket chains, NHS trusts and hotels.
What would you do if you lost your steam, heating, cooling or hot water services?
Temperature control plays a vital role in many manufacturing processes and failures of existing systems.
Failure of temperature control systems can have disastrous effect on production. Luckily when a major food manufacturer experienced a failure of their boiler plant help was at hand. Watkins Hire had previously visited the site and produced a bronze level detailed emergency plan and had arranged contractors to install required connection points for the temporary equipment on behalf of the client. A temporary Low Pressure Hot Water boiler was deployed and production commenced with minimal downtime.
