12 SERVICE PEDESTALS
Three recent projects in the UK D
espite all of the Covid-19 uncertainty, Rolec Services has continued to flourish in the UK marina market,
transforming destinations for visitors to take a well-deserved getaway once the pandemic subsides. Three recent projects are as follows: Rolec was invited back to Tarbert Harbour – voted one of the top ten Instagrammable destinations in Scotland by ‘Vogue’ – after approximately 15 years to carry out a complete refurbishment, transforming the harbour with 53 highly acclaimed Classic Smartcard metered service pedestals, which include LED illumination and water taps. By opting for the prepay, MID-approved Smartcard metering system, the marina operator at Tarbert Harbour now benefits from a modern solution for controlling and managing the electricity to its berths. Visitors to the facility can now simply pay for their electricity using reusable Smartcards, offering an efficient user experience whilst saving man-hours

Manager at Tarbert Harbour, said: “We have been associated with Rolec Services for many years and always found them to be professional, with high quality customer care, so when we decided to replace all our pontoon service pedestals, we contacted Rolec for information on the most suitable
equipment for our requirements. “Their team could not have been
more helpful, ensuring we received the right pedestal for our purposes and answering all our questions no matter what they were. They were quick and professional and the installation was completed ahead of time. We found the software easy to install and our customers have
already seen the benefit of the new pedestals, which are designed to a high standard and have helped us continue with our ethos of providing the best service we can to all our customers.” As a well-established marina
services provider across the world, it is always exciting for Rolec to be invited back for projects at familiar destinations. Largs Yacht Haven (also in Scotland) has benefited from the company’s services for over 30 years, so transforming this harbour once again was said to be a true delight. The project included upgrading the 730-berth marina, which involved stripping out the entire electrical system and replacing it with 117 Classic service pedestals complete with LED illumination, as well as 12 of Rolec’s reliable electricity distribution units. The company began work in
January, last year, and although the weather wasn’t as pleasant as desired, it continued to refurbish the marina, even throughout three major storms! The upgrade was eventually brought to a halt due to problems caused by the pandemic, but resumed again in July, allowing Rolec to completely transform the destination. John Stewart, Marina Manager at

Largs Yacht Haven, explained: “Having worked with Rolec Services over the last 30 years, we decided to use their expertise to upgrade over half the electricity modules in our marina with new distribution boxes and modules. “Rolec Services and their employees on site did a fantastic job maintaining a power supply to our berth-holder’s boats during the busy months of early Summer. We now have one lit module for every two boats, 16 and 32 amp sockets as required, and no cables crossing the pontoons, thus eliminating trip hazards.” Located in Daventry, England, and a poplular meeting place for leisure craft and narrow boats, Braunston Marina is well-known to Rolec, having installed its very first service pedestals back in 1995. After 25 years, the marina decided to revamp and upgrade its services and although
