The client required the design, installation, and commissioning of a 35MVA 33kV DNO switchroom and cable route in Essex.

THE CHALLENGES

An adjacent third-party project required excavation along the same route, creating a high risk of disruption to local residents, alongside the challenge of securing design approval from UK Power Networks

WHAT WE DELIVERED

  • Works included detailed design and approvals, installation of a 3.6km 33kV cable route, and post-construction commissioning and energisation
  • An adjacent 3rd party project required a collaborative shared trench arrangement
