Install 1MVA 11000/400V Unit Substation
RJ Power Connections were engaged by A.C.Goatham & Son to install a 1MVA 11000/400V unit substation.
This project was to provide supplies for a cold storage unit and site accommodation for a new business development. The programme of work activities were completed between March and September in 2020, with a number of key milestones across several workstreams of delivery.
Given location of the works taking place on farmland, it was critical that RJ Power Connections worked closely and collaboratively with the client, to ensure that the on-going farming operations on the site were not negatively impacted.
