Power outages during adverse weather meant that Coneygree House’s current waterproofing system was unable to cope with the amount of water coming in, so flood damage was becoming a major problem. We were commissioned alongside Newton Waterproofing to implement a pumping system that wouldn’t be affected if the power was interrupted.
We decided to use an Victron Quattro Inverter, which works by inverting 12V DC power from a battery (or multiple batteries) to clean and efficient 230V power. Because of the length of the power outage, the client required extra security in the instance that the batteries depleted before the power was restored – a frequent occurrence in this village. We installed a self-start generator system and linked it to the Victron Quattro Inverter, and pipework was laid in preparation for installation of the pumps. Two NP750 high-performance pumps were then installed within a pre-formed sump chamber and installed the generator system within a purpose-built housing.

The Victron Quattro Inverter, working alongside the generator system, provided unlimited power during prolonged power outage, as the batteries recharge once they reach a predetermined state of depletion. This has given the basement unequalled protection and ensured that it remains dry at all times. The system has been tried and tested numerous times since the installation and our clients were given peace of mind.
