Case Studies
Sustainable Temporary Power at Killingholme
Balfour Beatty has a multi-million pound contract to build the onshore substation for Ørsted’s latest offshore wind farm, Hornsea Project Two, on the east coast of England. When it is operational in 2022, the wind farm will supply green electricity to over 1.3 million homes and will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm.
The new onshore substation facility will transform the power produced by Hornsea Project Two wind farm before connecting it to the National Grid. It is a major development in the future of the UK’s renewable industry and the project will make an important contribution towards the UK’s goal for renewable electricity generation.
During the construction phase, Balfour Beatty required a fuel and energy efficient means of providing power for temporary site accommodation and other equipment on the onshore substation site until 2021.
Earth Bonded Powered Access Investment for National Grid
We are a market leader in the hire of powered access equipment and safety training for working at height. Our expert team sources the safest, leading-edge equipment from highly regarded suppliers such as Skyjack, Genie Lift, JLG and Niftylift. The range we provide to customers includes scissor lifts, telescopic booms, articulated booms, trailer mounted booms and tracked booms.
Investment in Cadent Gas
Cadent Gas is the UK’s largest gas distribution network. It manages more than 80,000 miles of pipes, most of them underground – which transport gas to 11 million customers.
As well as planned maintenance on the network, Cadent is always responsible for ensuring a safe supply. If a gas pipe is leaking, Cadent engineers must attend that emergency fast and within the hour to assess the situation and level of risk to the public. In most cases the gas can be contained, with a temporary repair put in place until a more permanent solution can be completed. If the leak cannot be contained, they must evacuate the area immediately – the size of the evacuation depends on the nature of the leak and the surrounding infrastructure.
