Not a rental unit left behind. A power system built for your site.

Permanent installations are a core part of M Squared. Every one starts with your load and your risk: what has to run, for how long, and what an outage costs you. We then design the generator, switching and fuel around it, and build it to suit the space you have, from a basement plant room to an open yard.

As the exclusive South African distributor and manufacturer for CGM, one of Italy's largest generator manufacturers, we can specify and build sets to the job rather than fitting the job to whatever is in stock. We also supply Teksan and other leading brands, all Euro Tier III compliant.

What we deliver
  • Prime power and standby generators, sized to your actual load
  • Synchronised multi-unit systems for large or critical loads
  • Motorised automatic transfer switches and synchronising panels
  • Transformers specified with the generator as one system
  • Hybrid diesel-battery systems where fuel cost or noise matters
  • Fully customised installations, cabling, fuel and controls
  • 24/7 remote monitoring and SLA maintenance from day one

How a project runs

From assessment to a monitored, maintained plant

  1. 01

    Power assessment

    We look at your load, your duty cycle and what must stay on, so the generator is sized to the operation rather than to a guess.

  2. 02

    Design & specification

    Prime or standby, single set or synchronised, with the ATS, switchgear and transformers specified around it.

  3. 03

    Supply

    CGM, Teksan and other leading manufacturers, Euro Tier III compliant. We are the exclusive South African distributor and manufacturer for CGM.

  4. 04

    Installation & commissioning

    Delivery, crane placement, cabling, fuel and controls, then testing and commissioning on site.

  5. 05

    Monitoring & maintenance

    24/7 remote monitoring and an SLA maintenance plan keep the installation running for its whole life.
