Products

When you need to secure your mission critical IT and communications equipment, you can rely on The Powerworks Ltd to provide the solutions. As well as manufacturing and installing a comprehensive range of secure power systems such as Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and Diesel Generators, we also design and develop customised High Integrity Modular Computer Rooms, Comms Rooms and Data Centres, offering a highly secure environment for all your crucial IT and datacomms equipment. At The Powerworks, we also provide UPS 'Plus' solutions - These are technically superior UPS and generator systems which offer reliability beyond 'Tier 3' or 99.99% uptime. All of our systems are designed to the highest standards by our in-house technical team, and are installed by NIC EIC approved electrical engineers. To complement an already exceptional service, The Powerworks also offer maintenance contracts on all of the equipment that we sell. We are committed to providing outstanding levels of customer service, and this is widely recognised by our blue-chip, world-wide customer base. So when you need redundant power systems, high integrity IT rooms, Data Centres or even a maintenance schedule for your existing generator, make The Powerworks your first port of call!

Generators

In today's digital age it is imperative that all your mission critical IT systems have a secure power backup. That's why you should let our technical team help find you the right generator for your application; they'll take responsibility for the whole system. Generators are also the best way of securing your non-critical systems such as air-conditioning and lighting. As well as offering comprehensive range of first class UPS systems, we also supply, install and maintain diesel generator sets.

These are a more economical option for when longer autonomy or back-up time is required: for as long a diesel is available, these generators will continue to provide the power, whereas UPS systems rely on expensive batteries alone. So whether you need a standalone or a UPS matched system, we have the installation experience to meet your exact requirements.

Tier 4 Power Solutions

The security of your critical systems is in safe hands with The Powerworks. Our Tier 4 Power Solutions offer maximum levels of reliability where constant power is simply imperative. Single points of failure are eliminated and redundancy [N+1] is built in.

We'll design and install both Tier 3 and Tier 4 power solutions that include redundant UPS systems, parallel generators, fail-safe switchgear and associated control systems.

Project Management

The Powerworks have the industry experience and technical know-how to manage the whole of your project from start to finish in a cost-effective, time-efficient manner. We employ our own highly-qualified experts and manufacture most of our own equipment, meaning we can offer our customers a fully integrated service, no matter the size of the project. By taking on all aspects of the project, our clients are spared the worry of dealing with complicated processes.

Our excellent service includes project planning using MS Project, detailed method statements, risk assessments, health and safety documentation, technical drawings, and technical documentation, including user manuals. Throughout the process, we'll schedule meetings with you to make sure your requirements are being met.

DC Systems & Inverters

The Powerworks are pleased to offer DC rectifier and inverter systems that have been custom modified from our range of standard modules. Firstly, our Optimus Rectifier Series, designed to supply small and medium power rates for telecommunications equipment, are available in 300W and 700W modules complete with battery and outgoing distribution breakers.

We also offer DC energy systems from the Salicru FAC P series of rectifiers. These are designed specifically to supply direct current to a wide variety of medium and high power equipment. With power rates of 1000W, 2000W, 2700W and 5000W, these can be connected in parallel and built into 19 inch cabinets with monitoring and management units, batteries, DC outgoing distribution, and load priority systems. Lastly, we offer the CS IS & CS Wave Series, ideal for industrial processes with critical loads.

Case Studies

Telco, a word-wide leader in international telecommunications, called upon the project team at The Powerworks when they needed housing for their major fibre-optic node in Western Europe. We were commissioned to develop backup systems for their critical services at one of Europe's leading Co-location sites, ensuring Tier 3 availability of power. Not only did we supply the necessary equipment, including a 80kVA PW-3 UPS, 100A PW-LTM static switch, and twin distribution panels with power monitoring and metering, but we also installed it, providing underfloor feeds to each cabinet and fully integrating the system with the site's BMS.

Air Conditioning & Cooling

Here at Powerworks we have built fantastic partnerships with many leading manufacturers in the industry which enables us to provide customers with incredibly high quality equipment. We strive to provide energy efficient products and choose products that will provide our customers with effective results in the running of the data centre. We recommend resilient solutions; a full n+1 redundancy ensures the system is maintained and minimises the risk of high temperature interrupting or shutting down service and indoor computer room air conditioning units and electronically commutated fans are installed and controlled for precise temperature control.

Modular Computer Rooms

All of our modular computer rooms are built to EN1047 standards for computing environments. They feature interlocking panels (up to 1.2m wide x 100mm thick and made to any height) with a high performance thermal barrier that is encapsulated between its sheet steel outer skin and finished in protective white paint. Roof panels can be fixed and sealed to the wall panels for all round protection and we also provide an optional steel floor system for complete six-sided enclosures. All fittings and joints are sealed and panels can be finished to suit specific colour requirements. They can be built in existing spaces or built within a weatherproof shell.

Cold Aisle Containment

Our cold aisle containment solutions have been expertly designed and created to increase the efficiency of the existing air conditioning system. Precise temperature control processes create significant energy saving results. The AC units feature mounted sensors in the cold aisle to achieve temperature control, clear roof panels and sliding access doors at both ends of the rack as well as lighting features. This versatile solution is suitable for new or existing racks of various sizes.


Please contact the team at Powerworks for further information and advice on the benefits of cold aisle containment.  

UPS Systems

We provide clients with expert advice and information on selecting suitable and effective UPS systems. Our highly experienced technical team will advise on available options from our wide selection of products and provide information on our full UPS services that may also be beneficial. Considerations that need to be taken into account include levels of redundancy, autonomy time, future growth projections as well as the ability to monitor the equipment – an uninterrupted power supply provides essential continual power until mains energy is restored or a back-up generator is started up. Please visit our website to view UPS solutions including Offline and Line Interactive, Single Phase UPS, Three Phase UPS, Marine Rated UPS and UPS accessories.

Physical Infrastructure

Our complete design and build services are carried out in accordance with industry recommendations and best practice advice, ensuring your new computer room or data centre is able to meet both your current and future needs in terms of capacity and resilience. We take care of the following:

  • Construction works for the new facility
  • High integrity modular room construction
  • Raised access flooring

Fire Suppression

A data centre carries a higher risk of fire than any other building area, so it’s essential that you have the appropriate fire suppression systems in place - they could be the difference between business closure and continuous operation. 


We offer two gas-releasing systems that automatically detect and extinguish fires within data centres, computer rooms or server rooms.  Both gases are stored as a liquid and will not over-pressurise the room on release. More details on the chemical properties of fire suppressing gases supplied by Powerworks can be found on our website. 


Powerworks also recommends the installation of VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) to detect smoke before the fire occurs. 


Environmental Monitoring

Datacentre Infrastructure can be successfully monitored using advanced SNMP-enabled technologies, which allow condition logging and provide real-time notifications of any alarms or events via email, pager SMS or network messaging. 


With a monitoring system in place you can have 24/7 peace of mind. 


As well as supplying and installing environmental monitoring systems, Powerworks can offer a remote monitoring service as part of an ongoing maintenance contract. You can find out more by visiting Powerworks online. 


Access Control and Security

IT Hardware is valuable. Business data is critical. Protect both by ensuring you have the appropriate access control and security systems in place. Powerworks can supply and install a range of devices, from keypads and proximity card readers through to biometric systems such as fingerprint or retinal recognition systems. We also offer a range of CCTV systems for security monitoring. Our project team will advise you on the most appropriate solution for your particular premises. Once you’re happy with the set-up, our engineers will then fit the required systems. Call us today on 01329 288444 to find out more.
