Everyone seems to have their own definition of what it means with respect to the installation of a generator set, but for us it\u2019s simple. Turnkey means we do everything required to successfully furnish and install the equipment. The initial site visit, design &amp; engineering, electrical, procurement, startup &amp; testing, maintenance &amp; monitoring and other related tasks are all on us. All you have to do is sit back and relax.<\/p>\n<p>Why do we call it turnkey?<\/p>\n<p>It is turnkey for our customers because we cope with all projects ups and downs, we provide expertise to turn unexpected obstacles into working solutions.<\/p>\n<p>A turnkey power solution is only as good as the experience of the provider and the transparency provided before, during, and after the plan is approved. Each solution has common points but a large majority of a generator installation projects will be unique to each jobsite.<\/p>\n<h3>The Basics Come First<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWhat would it cost to install a generator at my site?\u201d That\u2019s always the first question our customers ask. There are many factors that will dictate the cost of an installation, and it\u2019s important that your installer is familiar with those factors. Where will the generator be located? Is there landscaping required? How many feet of conduit will be required?<\/p>\n<p>An initial site-walk and load monitoring are a first step. Our qualified local electricians will gather onsite data for proper load sizing, review potential installation locations, and collect any information necessary to allow us to develop a proposal for the project.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll also evaluate your required timelines relative to manufacturer lead times for the equipment and explore avenues to speed things up if you\u2019re in a rush.<\/p>\n<h3>Plan for the Unexpected<\/h3>\n<p>Different cities have completely different processes and requirements. Whether it is permits, codes, construction, unions, transportation, flood zones or after-hour work requirements &#8211; these impact almost every aspect of a project timeline. There are numerous variables that impact permit approvals. We\u2019re experienced in working with municipalities across the country, so we can get the job done anywhere.<\/p>\n<h3>Environmental Considerations<\/h3>\n<p>Air quality permits and fuel permits may require equipment specifications changes. Making poor or flawed estimates related to emissions, noise, or proximity of fuel to buildings can make for unpleasant change orders and delays. This includes:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Location of the concrete pad<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Adding after-market PM exhaust controls<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Sound attenuation inside the enclosure<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Relocation of conduits<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 City Inspections<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Fuel tank codes and requirements<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Our goal is always to identify what is needed ahead of time, so you aren\u2019t caught by surprise.<\/p>\n<h3>Landlord Approvals<\/h3>\n<p>Landlord coordination can impact an otherwise approved and permitted plan. Fencing, walls, bollards, and landscaping should be reviewed by the landlord ahead of permitting, not after. Considerations made by owners\/landlords need not surprise. The ping-pong of permitting and landlords needs to be managed quickly, efficiently and with tact.<\/p>\n<h3>Importance of Transparency<\/h3>\n<p>Building credibility and trust through transparency from the beginning eliminates conflict between all parties. We\u2019ll advise you in establishing contingencies and we\u2019ll utilize place holders for items that may or may not be required. Experience is an advantage, but the work is ever-changing, and transparency is key in getting your project accomplished successfully, on time and on budget.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Global Power Supply&#8217;s turnkey power and installation services<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalpwr.com\/contact\/\"> contact us<\/a> today at 1-800 706-0906.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Turnkey&#8221; is an ambiguous term in the Power Generation industry.
