Switchgear Replacement Project
CASE STUDY: Private Networks
Freedom replaced the 11kv switchgear in substations 1, 2, 2a, 3, 5 & 6 with new Schneider Ringmaster range.
| Client(s) | Milton Keynes General Hospital |

| Location | Eaglestone, Milton Keynes |
| Project Start Date | January 2009 |
| Project Completion Date | July 2009 |
Each substation had to have the switchgear changed with the minimum disruption to the hospital and whilst the hospital carried on work as usual.
The consultants Couch Perry and Wilks specified the switchgear and the program schedule, work order and method was left to Freedom to liaise with the Hospital engineering staff.
The work was carried out one substation at a time by switching the 11kv ring open point to each substation one at a time and running the low voltage on generators at each location.
All the switchgear was changed to plan and the Hospital did not experience any abnormal occurrences.
