Electrical Upgrade of University Research Test Facilities

The Task

A leading UK university asked us to bring the electrical installations in five of its research test buildings up to current standards. The buildings house specialist test areas, so the work had to be carefully planned around ongoing research on a live campus.

The Outcome

Following a detailed walk-round with the university’s engineering team, we put together an essential compliance package for each building, working from their condition reports and drawings.

The works include replacing ageing distribution boards, renewing final circuits and fitting energy meters on each main switch or incomer, so the estates team can monitor consumption building by building. Areas next to the site’s substations are risk assessed and planned around HV isolations by the university’s authorised persons.

The project is being delivered in phases, one test building at a time, so research can carry on elsewhere on the site. It follows our earlier campus-wide LED lighting and controls upgrade for the same client.
