Guaranteed Power for a Major Logistics Hub in the United Kingdom

In some sectors, time is everything and even a brief interruption can lead to millions in losses.
This is especially true for logistics hubs. Genesal Energy knows this well, because we work daily with industries where energy is far more than just a resource – it’s the foundation upon which operations, logistics, and business are built.
One of our latest projects took place in an environment where continuity is critical: a 60,000-square-metre logistics centre serving a range of e-commerce and distribution companies. In this type of facility, electricity powers IT servers, automated machinery, robotic systems, and security controls. Our engineering team got to work to create a robust, efficient and fully tailored solution.
To meet the requirement, we designed a soundproof generator set in a 5000M canopy, with the engine and alternator directly coupled on a steel base frame. One of the key elements was autonomy: the unit includes a 900-litre integrated fuel tank, providing 4.5 hours of uninterrupted operation. In addition, a rubber anti-vibration system was installed to improve durability and reduce wear.
As in all our projects, safety was a top priority. We included protective guards on moving and hot parts, emergency stop buttons, and an external Link Box to facilitate both control and power connections.
Silent and Highly Reliable Technology
The installed set fits a GSI 650 silencer model, known for its low noise level (-30 dB) and other high-quality components, such as a Deep Sea DSE7320 MKII control panel and a 1600 A circuit breaker. The system is supported by two Tudor TC1853 185 Ah batteries, ready to respond in any scenario.
This project perfectly reflects what Genesal Energy stands for – a company that listens, analyses, and designs real, efficient, and long-lasting solutions. Because we understand our clients’ risks.
The Engineering Solution
A soundproof generator set was developed in a 5000M canopy, featuring a directly coupled engine-alternator mounted on a steel base frame. The integrated 900L fuel tank offers 4.5 hours of autonomy. Vibrations between the frame and monoblock were dampened using rubber anti-vibration mounts. Safety features include guards on hot and moving parts, emergency stop buttons, and other components to ensure safe operation.
