In preparation for this significant event, Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP), the national sports association for basketball in the Philippines, is now shifting to a higher gear to ensure all event logistics, including the generators, are in place – to ensure the event and broadcast run smoothly and without power issues. Just as the FIBA World Cup 2023 is out to make history, so too is the broadcast and streaming coverage of the world meet.
When considering the meticulous assessment of stakeholders, the demand for top-tier equipment is paramount. Regarding power generators specifically, Denyo stands out as a prominent choice renowned for its proven reliability and widespread utilization across numerous prestigious events in the Philippines, such as the Shell Eco-marathon Asia. Thus, Hastings Motor Corporation (HMC), Denyo’s authorized dealer in the Philippines, was called to provide power solutions to support the event.
However, challenges arose during the process. In the first agreement of the Terms of Requirement (TOR), the initial demand was for ten sets of Denyo generators due to overlooked load declarations. Upon HMC’s load inspection, it became evident that more generators were needed to meet the total power demands spread across three event venues in the country – this, in turn, caused multiple revisions to the generator placement and cable layout in the venues.

This unexpected revelation compressed the timeframe for setup, compelling HMC to improvise and provide 34 units of generators – ranging from 100kVA to 300kVA – instead of the originally agreed-upon 10. This unexpected occurrence demanded HMC to demonstrate efficiency, adaptability, and responsiveness to guarantee the event’s success.
