Aggreko helps marathon power on

AGGREKO provided specialist equipment and expertise to power 13 temporary outdoor stages lining the route of Europe's first Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon, which took place in Edinburgh.
Combining a long distance race with a music festival, the event saw 5,000 runners from 35 countries compete in a 13.1 mile route… around the city centre, with live music stages positioned at each mile interval.
The company's team of engineers designed and implemented a temporary power solution to minimise disruption to people and traffic in the city centre, installing and commissioning 16 diesel generators with associated cabling along the route. The equipment was systematically decommissioned and removed from site as soon as each section of the route had been completed.
