At SDMO’s recent 20th anniversary celebration dinner held at Cranage Hall in Cheshire, AVK were presented with an award for ‘sales achievement 2010’.

AVK have won this award for the third year running in recognition of their sales activity in the large generator systems market for the provision of major power schemes in the data centre and telecommunications markets.

Chris Pritchard, managing director of AVK|SEG, said: “AVK are proud to accept this award from SDMO in recognition of our achievements in providing high-quality engineered solutions for mission critical standby power applications. The award underlines AVK’s position as the leading UK provider of data centre power.”

Recent projects include 4 x 20 cylinder MTU machines with 11kV altenators housed within low noise containers which were installed on the roof of Man Group’s new London headquarters. Four similar machines were also installed in Nomura’s new London headquarters in the sub-basement. Both projects use AVK’s unique Kerys control system that enables the generators to be on live and synchronised in less than ten seconds, providing ultimate system reliability with no single point of failure.
