Case Study
Surface Mining Emergency at Lehigh Cement
The Client
Why replace when you can give your transformer new life? It’s an innocuous gray metal box with spark plugs coming out of the top. That is, if you’re doing regular inspections and testing. If not, that quiet box could bring your electrical service to a halt. Premier Power Maintenance has the tools, equipment and expertise to work on your transformer. Whatever your pain is, we’ve got you covered.
The problem
Our Premier Power technician responded to a call about a flooded Surface Mining site at Lehigh Cement. Our technician assumed it would be a standard flood cleanup. A few feet of water, some damaged equipment. The usual. He’d dealt with plenty of floods in 15 years with Premier. Instead he walked into a mess of epic proportions. Equipment that was completely submerged by over 30 feet of water. The river upstream from the location had become stopped up and flowed right into their facility, shutting down the entire site, and preventing any work from being done.

Working quickly to remove the equipment and get it dry the team was able to fix each and every piece of equipment saving the client tens of thousands of dollars. This happened in 2008 and we continue to work with this client doing annual maintenance on this plant and their sister facilities as well responding to 5-10 callouts each year.
