Issue:

Haileybury College, Berwick campus lost all power as a result of water damage to the main switchboard caused by a large storm overnight.

Solution:

  • Macmor Electrical Contractors were in attendance within one hour of the power outage.
  • Within two hours the Macmor team were cleaning the unaffected sections of the switchboard
    and removing the damaged parts caused by the explosion.

    power the subcircuits that supply power to the school.
  • Working through the night, Macmor reinstated power to all subcircuits
  • Business resumed as normal the following morning.
  • Once the temporary generators were in place, Macmor designed, manufactured and
    delivered a new Main switchboard.
  • Within two weeks, the temporary solution was disconnected and the new switchboard was
    changed over on the weekend causing no disruption to normal business activities.
  • The new Main switchboard was designed with the schools future power requirements in mind.
  • The school was grateful for the prompt and professional service provided by Macmor.
