E.ON is one of the UK's leading power companies - generating electricity, and retailing power and gas.
E.ON had initially 525 fire extinguishers installed by Safelincs at one of its oil-fired power stations in Kent. The site was later decommissioned and a new gas turbine station with a total generation capacity of 1,380MW came into service. This increased the total extinguisher requirement on the site to over 750 extinguishers. As the extinguishers from the first plant had not reached the end of their serviceable life, a solution was needed to stop the waste of perfectly good extinguishers, especially since the Safelincs extinguishers had been supplied with a 10 year warranty!
Safelincs and e.on identified surplus extinguishers and, after careful assessment and servicing, these extinguishers were re-deployed on the new site. Where required, new extinguishers were installed.
A large proportion of the existing extinguisher stock could be re-deployed successfully, saving e.on substantial amounts.
Safelincs worked closely with the team at E.ON to set up new fire points and install the necessary signage as well as offering professional advice on their location
E.ON also benefitted from Safelincs transparent service without hidden charges.
All work was carried out in accordance to BS5306 and certified by BAFE approved engineers.
