A
ll new equipment was to be commissioned, installed and
fully functional by the end of November 2019. With less
than a month to complete the refrigeration, Energy Partners
was up for the challenge. The facility was commissioned in
phases to have the rooms operating as the customer needed
since further civil works delays hampered the timeline. The
rooms were completed just in time, as they were needed.
CLIENT BRIEF
2
Rederberg Estates sought a reliable and sustainable energy-
efficient refrigeration system to cool its produce during the
post-harvesting process.
Energy Partners Refrigeration, a subsidiary of Energy
Partners, was responsible for the supply and installation of
refrigeration equipment for the Rederberg Estate: Forced
cooling, holding and de-greening rooms. “Energy Partners
Utilities financed and own all the refrigeration equipment
and charge the client for cooling used on an outsourced basis.
This is a first in the agricultural sector. All the maintenance
and guarantee over the full life span of the equipment is also
included in the fee,” says sales engineer, Henk Mac Donald.
