High Voltage Electrical Design
Our chartered electrical engineers provide fit-for-purpose designs for high-voltage infrastructure up to 132kV. We specialise in creating economical, efficient solutions that comply with CDM regulations while eliminating hazards through proactive risk management. Our in-house design team works from initial concept through to completion, ensuring seamless integration with distribution network operators' requirements and delivering value-engineered solutions for space-constrained developments.
Emergency Response
Available 24/7, our senior authorised personnel respond rapidly to network faults and emergencies. Our engineers prioritise system safety before implementing repair strategies, offering temporary power solutions where required. With nationwide coverage and immediate access to replacement components, we minimise downtime for critical infrastructure while maintaining full compliance with electricity safety regulations.
Asset Replacement
We develop strategic replacement plans for aging high-voltage assets including transformers, switchgear, and cabling systems. Our comprehensive service covers design, procurement, installation, and commissioning, with energy efficiency improvements that often qualify for government tax allowances. By proactively managing equipment lifecycles, we help clients avoid unexpected failures and reduce both maintenance costs and carbon footprints.
Solar Farm Connections
As an accredited ICP, we deliver grid connection solutions for solar energy projects of all scales. Our turnkey service includes application management, cost estimation, and construction of connections up to 132kV, with recent experience on some of the UK's largest solar parks. We coordinate multi-utility requirements while ensuring compliance with technical standards for renewable energy integration.
Network Management
We provide comprehensive operation and maintenance services for high-voltage networks across diverse sectors. Our chartered engineers and SAPs implement preventive maintenance programmes while managing emergency repairs.
