- Provide a nominated Project Manager for every connection so you know someone is always on hand for progress updates and to make sure any questions are dealt with in a timely manner.
- Work collaboratively with our clients to ensure delivery programmes are agreed, progress is regularly monitored and deadlines are met.
- Support customers to develop their requirements, taking account of current needs and future aspirations, supporting business objectives and sustainability goals.
- Apply industry best practice and integrate the latest in emerging technologies to develop connections solutions that encompass grid connection through to onsite infrastructure needs.
- Work closely with the local DNO to ensure seamless delivery of connections on time, every time.
Case studies
We developed the strategy to optimise the site’s existing electrical capacity and investigated the requirements for future electrical loads. We are working with the local DNO to alter the network and improve the on-site HV network.
We designed and constructed a new HV network and established a new 1MVA substation to enable the connection of 267 new homes.
We designed and constructed a new HV network for the increase in demand associated with additional accommodation units.
We deliver work associated with a connection to the distribution network, including:
- Cable laying, (LV, 11kV, 33kV & 132kV)
- Diversion or reinforcement of LV, 11kV or 33kV circuits
- Diversion or reinforcement of substations
- Erection of new overhead lines
- Installation of substation plant
- Cable jointing and termination
