Our mobile system Our system is flexible and allows us to work at large scale very easily to any required spec’. We can work on any temporary power system from a single power source with one socket upwards. It’s the larger jobs where things really come into their own and where the data feedback, and efficiency of what we do, come to the fore. We use a mobile device tool to capture information from the field. The raw data is transferred to a highly secure service provider, meaning the information is safe as soon as it is captured and uploaded. Any changes that are required to the data (such as if someone realises that they have entered a circuit description incorrectly) are tracked and time stamped. Information gathering and data clarity Multiple images are taken as we carry out our inspections and tests. These can provide the client with clarity or enhanced information if we have identified something that should be reported. Any things we feel are appropriate to flag are immediately made available to our client. We tend to use an online portal for convenience and efficiency, which is connected directly to our site gathered data. This portal displays the values we have measured, the matter that the inspector believes to require flagging and all the images we have taken of that part of the electrical system. If we can make a problem go away, we always try to. Things like a breaker being left at an incorrect setting or a loose lug can be quickly attended to. We always ensure that the appropriate people know what we have done. On-site documentation review During our time on site, we regularly review the test documentation that our teams are submitting. From questioning values that don’t quite “feel” right to the clarification that a system has been put together in the way described, the second eye over the data is an integral part of our process. Test documents collated With all information reviewed, we collate all the test documents. We also provide schematics giving clear “as built” drawings of the systems we have visited. This is supplied as a pack to the client electronically, usually while we are still on site. A flexible, scalable solution The next time you wonder if there is an easier way of testing a temporary power system when time is tight, and the number of systems is large, we can very quickly and easily provide a solution. Much better than trying to fill in paper documents in the wind and rain. Let us know your requirements, and we can devise the fastest way of considering the equipment that you are installing. Your headache of trying to get the testing done is one we are happy to take away.

Why inspect electrical systems?

Can you just do a quick sign-off for us before tomorrow?

Why are Central Battery Systems so important for the upcoming panto season?

So what does a ''day in the life of'' HPES look like while we are working outdoor events? Here is a light-hearted, but we hope an informative introduction revealing a typical day getting power systems ready for a large outdoor sporting event in Scotland earlier this year.

Every year at HPES Technical Solutions, we spend a significant amount of time in regional and West End Theatres. Because so many theatres know our thoughts and feelings on all things theatrical, we are often asked, “who are some of the other theatrical electrical contractors within the industry, and who would you recommend?” So, here are our thoughts.
