COMPLETED

13th December 2024

LOCATION

Florence , New York

The Project Overview

The project involved swapping three existing large UPS units, each weighing between 100 to 200 kilograms, and installing a brand-new UPS unit. The task required careful planning and precise execution to ensure safety, efficiency, and compliance with all standards and regulations.

The Problem

The primary challenge of this project was the transportation and installation of heavy UPS units across a widespread campus. Handling equipment of this size and weight posed risks to both the equipment and our team. Additionally, ensuring the secure removal and disposal of the old UPS units while maintaining campus operations required meticulous planning and strict adherence to safety protocols.

The Solution

To overcome these challenges, 3 Layers Technologies implemented a structured and strategic approach:
  1. Specialized Equipment:
    We used a forklift to lift the heavy UPS units onto a mini truck, minimizing direct handling and reducing the risk of injury.
  2. Optimized Transportation:
    The mini truck transported the UPS units to designated locations, ensuring efficient transit with minimal disruption to campus activities.
  3. Secure Handling:
    Units were securely fastened during transportation, and our team followed all safety precautions to prevent damage or accidents.

Implementation Process

  1. Preparation and Transport:
    • The new UPS units were transported to their respective locations using a forklift and truck, ensuring maximum safety and efficiency.
    • After the new units were delivered, the old UPS units were carefully removed and prepared for transport.
  2. UPS Swapping and Installation:
    • Our skilled engineers meticulously swapped the three existing UPS units, ensuring precise connections and configurations.
    • The new UPS unit was installed in its designated location, with all batteries and equipment securely racked.
  3. Disposal of Old Equipment:
    • Following the successful installation, the old UPS units were disposed of in full compliance with applicable regulations and standards.
    • Each piece of equipment, including serial numbers and locations, was documented to maintain a comprehensive record.

The Result

The project was executed seamlessly within the planned timeframe, with strict adherence to all safety protocols. The new UPS units were installed successfully, reinforcing the reliability and efficiency of the campus’s power systems.
