On site construction of reinforced concrete base to facilitate the electrical apparatus, switch room, transformer base and meter kiosk with perimeter fencing, access, drainage and finishing works.

There have been many obstacles along the route testing the skills and working methods of the team(s) however the works were completed on time with zero injuries, multiple safety recognition awards across the team(s) and pioneering use of a low carbon concrete and green diesel+.

Alongside the main works we engaged with the local community on providing construction services to enable a new classroom bus project at Old Oak Primary School.
