Aggreko worked in conjunction with MyEnergy, the electrical consultants appointed by JAWOC to design a system with a high level of redundancy and is now supplying a comprehensive package of generators, bunded fuel tanks and electrical power distribution systems at each stadium, up to and including each camera and commentary position.
Under a separate contract, signed with Host Broadcast Services (HBS), Aggreko is providing the services of 10 of its electrical specialists to ensure smooth transition of power from the distribution equipment to the broadcast vehicles.
