What would happen to your business if a disaster or emergency struck, and you were unprepared?
According to data from FEMA, around 40% of businesses don’t reopen after a disaster – and it’s easy to see why. The effects are rarely contained to any one area of your business, and, in many cases, recovery is a painfully slow process.
When your facility is out of action for an extended period of time, you don’t just need to worry about paying for repairs – the lost productivity affects profits too, driving up the overall cost of recovery.
From wildfires and hurricanes to turbine or generator failures, a disaster could quickly leave you unable to do business, creating irreversible financial and reputational damage. The answer? Effective business continuity planning with help from an expert partner.
What could an emergency cost your business?
If you’re unprepared for a natural disaster or an equipment failure, it could be catastrophic for your productivity. And you could suffer huge financial losses as a result.
For issues you can see approaching on the horizon, having a thorough, well-tested contingency plan means you can switch seamlessly to your backup system – and avoid a single moment of lost productivity.
The Aggreko way
You need to be covered, whatever happens.
Our far-reaching range of contingency planning options can be up and running in mere hours.
We think 10 steps ahead, so you can focus on what you do best – running your business. While we design a contingency plan for power, heating, and cooling, so that, if disaster strikes, you have the equipment and people to combat it quickly.
Put planning in our hands
Reduce “disaster costs”
Downtime resulting from disasters can create big costs. Line up temporary heating and cooling solutions to keep you at full productivity, always.
Rapid, local assistance
Our teams combine global expertise with a local presence, meaning we can get to your site quickly – often within an hour. So you can be confident that we’re always on hand to help.
Stop disruption in its tracks
Keep power up and your workforce engaged, ensuring business continuity around the clock. Because planning for failure makes or breaks your success.
Seasonal readiness isn’t enough
Seasonal readiness matters, but you can’t afford to stop there. Your contingency plan needs to comprehensively include both long- and short-term changes in weather, so you can stay ahead of your risks.
At the same time, your plan needs to be ready to evolve over time. As technology improves, new innovations come in, and the way you work continues to evolve, your plan will need to be constantly updated to incorporate your new processes.
A tailor-made plan
An off-the-shelf response won’t suit every situation. You need an operational readiness plan that considers emergency management, long-term climate changes, and sudden, extreme weather. We can tailor your strategy to fit your operation and the risks you’d face if things ground to a halt.
Even if you revisit your contingency plan regularly, effective planning means anticipating environmental changes and costs throughout the life of your project. This could be years or even decades into the future.
At Aggreko, we’re at the forefront of operational readiness and business continuity. We understand your industry – and where it’s headed. We can work with you to accurately predict costs, now and in the future, and ensure you’re prepared for anything.
