Grupel has supplied an 880kVA genset for the works on the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona (Spain). A very special project to guarantee the continuity of operations in the construction work on the tallest tower of the emblematic building, called the Tower of Jesus Christ, which will be 172.50m high.
The generator set with a Grupel brand engine and alternator will operate on standby, starting up in the event of a mains failure, to power the crane that has been installed in the Basilica tower, the largest piece of equipment of its kind in Europe.
The genset includes a synchronization board with the grid, so that when the load is transferred, it never goes over 0, i.e. the crane never runs out of energy. It also has an oil transfer pump, a preheating resistor and a diesel tank with a capacity of 1000 liters.
