Florham Park, New Jersey, USA – 2021

• Since the 1960’s, ASCO Power Technologies has supplied backup power equipment, services, and technical support to the Riverside Regional Medical Center.
• In 2012, Riverside needed highly reliable power control systems and automatic transfer switches for a 250,000 square foot expansion. ASCO successfully expanded and upgraded backup power systems to help Riverside meet evolving healthcare needs in its community.
• ASCO has become a key partner to Riverside by providing highly reliable solutions and premium service and support.

Summary

ASCO Power Technologies has released a case study highlighting its 60-year history of providing backup power equipment, service, and technical support to the Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News, Virginia, USA. The case study describes how the facility started as a 50-bed hospital in 1916 and expanded to become the leading health care provider in the Newport News metropolitan area.

In the 1960’s, ASCO provided Riverside with transfer switches, and has since become a trusted partner in Riverside’s journey. In 2005, ASCO helped Riverside upgrade obsolete paralleling gear used for critical backup power. In 2012, the hospital needed to expand its facilities yet again, this time by adding a new 250,000 square foot addition. To provide emergency power capacity and reliability for the most advanced medical solutions, ASCO expanded the backup power system to meet current and emerging needs.
