Pop Up Power Supplies® Retractable Service Units
Requirement
Pop Up Power Supplies® was approached by Aberdeen University as they required an outdoor power supply for lawn areas within the campus.
Part of the Old Aberdeen Campus, King’s College is considered the symbolic centre of the ever-expanding university.
Products supplied
The popular PUPS01 unit from Pop Up Power Supplies® were installed in the outside lawn areas by The Kings College Chapel and also Elphinstone Hall to provide outdoor power to marquees used for weddings and corporate events.
The pop up electric sockets are constructed using stainless steel and concrete and have a total weight of 450kg each. The cover units are made of stainless steel AISI304 and offer substantial protection to the power units when they are fully retracted.
George Parker, Director of Pop Up Power Supplies® commented, “Aberdeen University is famous for its beautiful architecture and because of this they didn’t want power units around the campus being a permanent feature. Our pop up units were recommended as they provide the necessary outdoor power supply for their sporting events, and when they aren’t in use they are simply retracted into the ground by turning a handle.”
Outcome
The units provide a safe and secure outdoor power supply to marquees used for weddings and corporate events.
