In and out
in a day.
Two hundred miles from home. A store that never closed. Old cabinets out, new ones in — and an electricity bill that dropped by up to 65%.
The job
Nisa Local, Kingskerswell — a village store outside Newton Abbot, and an away fixture for the team. Two ageing remote Arneg cabinets had to come out, be disposed of properly, and be replaced with modern multidecks — while the store kept serving customers.
No closure. No “back in 10 minutes” sign. The shop traded through the entire job.
The challenge
Working in a live store is a different sport. Every hour, the plan has to protect three things at once: the engineers, the public, and the trading day.
Open throughout
Work areas segregated zone by zone so shoppers kept shopping and Craven’s health & safety standards held from first lift to last screw.
Village lanes
Tight roads and a big delivery. The team ran short, controlled holds to get the lorry in and out without gridlocking the village.
Out with the old
Two legacy open-fronted cabinets decommissioned, removed and disposed of responsibly — the part of the job nobody sees and everybody needs.
Before / after
The old condensing pack was massively oversized for a village store — costing money around the clock. In its place: right-sized J&E Hall units, matched to the store’s real load. Drag the line.
Right-sizing isn’t glamorous — it’s just maths that never got done when the old pack went in. The new cabinets and matched condensing units cut the customer’s refrigeration energy costs by up to 65%. The kit pays for itself, then keeps paying.
The solution
Two 3.75-metre Arneg Osaka multidecks and two J&E Hall condensing units — delivered AM, installed with the attention to detail that decides how long refrigeration actually lasts, and finished the same day.
The customer made one phone call. Delivery, decommissioning, disposal, installation — Craven handled the rest, in one organised day on site.Nisa Local · Kingskerswell, Newton Abbot
