powerPerfector savings reach a billion kWh
The UK’s fastest growing green company has reached a significant milestone, having saved its clients a billion kWh of energy.
powerPerfector’s Voltage Power Optimisation (VPO)® saves energy, cost and carbon by optimising the incoming electrical supply voltage in commercial buildings.
A billion kWh is the energy saving equivalent to turning off the power to London for nine days, or a staggering 820 cups of tea for everybody in the UK.
The company’s website features their unique ‘green gauge’, a client savings ticker which measures the benefit of VPO. Angus Robertson, CEO of powerPerfector, said: "The billion barrier outlines the pivotal role that energy efficiency can play in delivering a sustainable power supply in the future. We have saved our clients £85 million in energy spend to date, which in the current financial climate is of great benefit.”
Legioblock highly recommended by Roba Metals
The UK sales manager for A Jansen B.V. and Legioblock first contacted Roba metals at the end of January 2011 and was invited to our new station in Alcester to view the building and take measurements. He then sent us detailed CAD drawings and a quotation within 48 hours of the site survey.
Despite "shopping around" and fierce competition we decided to place the order with the Legioblock product as the blocks were 800 mm wide as opposed to the competitions 600 mm wide blocks meaning that we could construct to greater heights without the need for buttresses to reinforce the walls. The stability was far greater and the blocks were readily available as the company keeps 10,000 blocks in stock at any one time. They were also the only company that we could source in the UK that will supply, deliver AND construct the blocks for us.
A Jansen B.V. was confident that they could complete the task within the deadline so we put them to the test. The end result is better than we could have possibly imagined. There is absolutely no comparison between the old style A frames or rocket walls which were often damaged beyond repair and constantly needed replacing.
The staff at A Jansen B.V. proved themselves to be professional and efficient. Roba Metals would not hesitate to recommend using the Legioblock system to any company looking to construct retaining walls. It was the right decision to call upon A Jansen B.V. to complete this project from start to finish.
Why use Legioblock? •
Easily stacked and placed without the need of any fixing material. This way Legioblock constructions can be expanded or modified at any time.
• No foundation required, a level and stable surface is the only requirement for the installation of the Legioblocks®.

• Excellent sound-proofing and fire resistant properties. • Standard measurements: 160 x 80 x 40cm, 160 x 80 x 80cm and 160 x 40 x 40cm. Within these ranges various additional sizes and finishes available
• Weight 160 x 80 x 40cm = 1.200 kg
