Ensuring the System Works

All high voltage systems must be tested during
their operational life, during installation, final
commissioning, routinely as part of a scheduled
maintenance programme or after prolonged periods
of disuse. These tests will ensure not only that the
installation operates as designed, but that all modes
of standby equipment and protection systems work
when required.

will ensure the system functions as intended.

Our highly qualified engineers will perform network

fault calculation and protection studies whilst
preparing circuit diagrams and schematics. On
resolution of a scheme, we will decide on plant and
cable location which ensures compliance with all
relevant legislation and safety regulations.

The Right Equipment

We specify equipment according to performance and
total life cost parameters assessed in consultation
with our customers. A wide technical and operational
experience with all types of high voltage equipment,
along with an in-depth knowledge of the latest
materials, products and application techniques allows
us to select the most suitable solution to a power
distribution problem. We also provide our clients with
an essential part of any and all systems, a written
‘Safe Systems of Work’ procedure.
