In 2020, Brinkmann & Niemeijer realised a DRUPS emergency power system at Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc. We have also provided maintenance since then. Amsterdam UMC is a leading academic hospital, with 733 beds and about 6,850 employees. Amsterdam UMC, a medical centre that provides excellent patient care, but also conducts high-level scientific research and provides top-level education & training in collaboration with Vrije Universiteit.

 The reason for this project was that because of the energy transition, Vrije Universiteit and Amsterdam UMC wanted to stop generating their own energy via a so-called CCGT plant and gas turbines. Since these installations also served as emergency power supplies, an alternative had to be found. A tender was issued for a new emergency power system. This was Brinkmann & Niemeijer's first project as a main contractor.

We used a modular Piller DRUPS system for this project, which could be fully customised to the customer's requirements. The plant secures power to the preferred 10 kV grid via an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system in case of power failure. By drawing up the entire installation in 3D beforehand, we were able to assemble many components in advance, allowing us to make quick steps on site. We went through the entire process, including demolition works, construction aspects, lifting works, integration of the 4 x 2,100 kVA DRUPS plant and, finally, the Site Acceptance Test (SAT). The integration was carried out without de-energising the installation. Thus, users did not notice any inconvenience from connecting the UPS system. To ensure the highest possible reliability of the energy system, we also provide its service and periodic maintenance.
