On a busy Wednesday afternoon, Premier Inn Woking, a 170-room hotel located in the heart of the town centre, faced a sudden operational emergency. As one of the area’s most popular business and leisure hotels, it caters to hundreds of guests each week and operates a full-service restaurant and kitchen on-site.
When the hotel’s cold water booster pump suffered a catastrophic failure, water pressure was lost across the entire building, impacting showers, toilets, and catering facilities. With guests already checked in and more arrivals expected, the situation required an immediate and expertly engineered solution.
Knowing that time was of the essence a trusted building services contractor contacted Rapid Energy to deliver an urgent, temporary water supply system capable of restoring pressure across all floors and services.
Our objective was clear: to deliver and commission a fully operational temporary cold-water booster solution.
To reinstate water supply quickly and safely, Rapid Energy mobilised a comprehensive range of high-spec equipment, tailored for potable water systems:
1 × Cold Water Service (CWS) Pump
10 × 5m Potable Water Hoses (Camlock)
25 × 25m 240v 16A Single Phase Power Leads
5 × 240v 16A Plug Top Adaptors (Flyleads)
6 × 2″ HTG Camlock to BSP Adaptor Sets (Aluminium)
5 × 2½” BSP to 2″ BSP Reducers
5 × 2″ HWS Camlock to BSP Adaptor Sets (Brass)
5 × DN50 PN16 Flange to 2″ Camlock Adaptors
Each component was selected to integrate seamlessly with the hotel’s existing infrastructure and maintain water quality standards suitable for guest use.
The biggest challenge was time. Without cold water pressure, essential services such as showers, toilets, and kitchens were completely inoperable. In a busy hospitality environment, downtime wasn’t an option, even short delays would have led to major disruption, guest complaints, and potential revenue loss.
The solution needed to be designed, delivered, and commissioned in record time, with zero compromise on safety or performance.
Rapid Energy’s team responded within minutes of the initial call. A full technical proposal and quotation were produced within the hour, and once approved, we immediately began mobilisation.
By the next morning, our engineers were on-site in Woking, ready to implement the temporary system.
Our process included:
Rapid on-site assessment and connection planning.
Delivery and installation of the temporary cold-water booster pump.
Testing and commissioning to confirm full operational integrity.
Within 24 hours of the initial enquiry, the system was fully functional, restoring complete water pressure to the entire hotel.
Thanks our team’s swift response and technical expertise, Premier Inn Woking was back to full operation with zero guest disruption. All hotel services, from showers to catering facilities, were reinstated seamlessly, allowing normal business to continue without any negative impact on guest experience or reputation.
This project exemplifies Rapid Energy’s commitment to responsiveness, reliability, and results, providing engineered solutions that work when failure is not an option.
“We know how critical water supply is to sites like Premier Inn – we delivered and installed a full solution in under 24 hours, keeping guests happy and services running without disruption.”
