Aggreko Provides Power for Super Bowl Game and Supporting Venues
Aggreko provided large-scale power generation and HVAC assistance for last weekend’s Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. Aggreko equipment provided heating and cooling and generated power for the entire 68,500-seat stadium. The company also powered several other marquee events and provided support services including: Coldplay’s halftime show; the broadcast and international media compounds; Super Bowl City; the Friday Night Party at Treasure Island and the NFL Honors Red Carpet.
It was the 26th time Aggreko has been involved in powering the Super Bowl.
“For 26 years, Aggreko has provided modular, mobile power and temperature control solutions for the national football championship game,” said David Prince, senior events project manager of Aggreko Events Services. “We were honored to be part of the game’s ‘golden anniversary’ and support the many installations required to give spectators an experience they will never forget at this milestone event.”
Aggreko Event Services provided 16 MW of temporary power; 1,400 KW of electric heat; engineered cooling solutions for the game and the surrounding VIP and hospitality venues; a crew of 12 technicians to manage the installation and operations; hundreds of accessories, including panels, transformers and about 250,000 feet of cable.
Aggreko’s technical experts monitored the installation via Aggreko Remote Monitoring, a real-time monitoring and diagnostic service.
The company is widely known for supporting custom-engineered temporary power and temperature control solutions for large-scale events such as the Olympic Games, Pan America/Parapan American Games, PGA Tour, Tour de France, Ryder Cup and the FIFA World Cup.
