June 7, 2013
Aggreko, the global leader in rental power and temperature control solutions, is providing power generation and climate control for this year’s U.S. Open Championship, which will run June 13 – 16.
This is the thirteenth time Aggreko has been selected as the temporary utility provider of the tournament, which is hosted this year by the Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania.
Aggreko designed a power and cooling solution that will enable the sold-out crowd to enjoy the tournament in safety and comfort, without detracting from the beauty of the surroundings. The supplied equipment was customized specifically for golf tournaments and large-scale spectator events.
“It’s a pleasure to be able to work with the USGA for the thirteenth time,” said David Prince, Senior Events Project Manager, Aggreko North America. “Each project we design is unique, and Aggreko’s dedicated events team has developed a custom temporary power and cooling installation to ensure the comfort of all participants attending this spectacular event.”
Aggreko North America has a long history of providing power to high-profile events, including presidential inaugurations, several national sporting events, and the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games.
