As no fuel was allowed within the Dome, heating was provided by 36 18kW electric heaters (each requiring a 32A three-phase supply) from Tower's own stock and supplemented by others hired from Aggreko. Generation was by two 500kVA sets with 3900-gallon tanks, which powered four 400A three-phase distros from which approximately 3500m of mains cable of varying sizes supplied heating, lighting, site power and show power. Approximately 140 house and emergency light fittings were installed overnight prior to the marquee linings being hung the following day. The final challenge for the company was to clear the site (of everything) in one day on the 30 December.
