OUR CLIENT
The Ministry of Justice is a major government department, at the heart of the justice system. They work to protect and advance the principles of justice. Their vision is to deliver a world-class justice system that works for everyone in society. The MOJ endeavour to keep their sites in top condition and so commissioned Amey Community Ltd to lead this project.
Amey Community Ltd is an infrastructure support service provider that offers facilities management. They operate across sectors such as transport, justice, defence, healthcare, and education. Amey focuses on improving public services, enhancing infrastructure efficiency, and contributing to community development through innovative solutions and sustainable practices.
Ford Mainwaring works with Amey to provide building management services for prisons across North Wales, the Midlands, and the North of England. This typically includes PPM and reactive works.
THE BRIEFING
HMP Lincoln’s existing generator was reaching its end–of–life and continued maintenance would not be cost–effective.
A replacement generator would solve two problems – it would be more cost–effective than continued maintenance, and as a new generator would be more environmentally friendly.
The existing 80,000 litre fuel tank needed to be replaced, due to heavy corrosion contaminating the fuel.
The scope of this project included the following:
- Installation of temporary power generation & fuels
- Decommissioning and removal of the existing redundant generator
- Install and commission new 80,000 litre fuel tank including;
- New double skin PLX pipework, complete with leak detection system
- Fuel polishing
- Fuel level control system
- Fuel level warning system
- Installation of new Edina, AJ Power 800 kVA standby generator package
- We competed the LV power wiring, new link box, and connections of the control wiring from the two internal LV switch rooms within the prison
- Completion of the necessary earthing and bonding
- Connection of the Fire alarm installation to the site’s maintained system
-
PROJECT GALLERY
IN THE END
The new standby generator ensures a much more reliable power supply for HMP Lincoln. By replacing the old generator with a new, more efficient model, the facility can save on maintenance
costs and the reduction in fuel storage requirements also contributes to cost savings.
The project ensures a reliable backup power system with clean and well–maintained fuel to keep everything running smoothly.
