Ensuring the safety of distribtion projects

Our temporary works solutions support every stage of power distribution projects, from overhead line construction to substations, transformer bases, cable runs, and joint bays. These projects often involve complex challenges such as difficult terrain, restricted access, environmental constraints, heavy lifting requirements, and safety-critical excavation work. Each sector demands precise planning, specialised equipment, and robust safety measures to ensure reliable installation and seamless integration into the wider power network.

Early engagement

It’s key to understand the potential challenges that transmission projects may face during the critical early stage. Our team of regional temporary works designers and engineers can work alongside you, attending early design meetings and providing support for commercial tenders.

Bespoke designs

We know the design stage is crucial, so our engineers use their experience to create the right scheme to land the project effectively. Our dedicated digital engineering team use the latest technology to help our customers design winning bids, reduce the costs of construction, speed up delivery, improve safety and reduce the full-life cost of infrastructure.

A complete solution

To help minimise the challenges when managing multi-phase, multi-partner projects, we can offer a complete end to end service. So, we can work with you, where you need us or throughout the project, from initial concept through to completion, across all aspects of temporary works.

Delivering practical, engineered support systems

We provide a full range of temporary works that keep these projects moving safely and efficiently. This includes access roads, scaffolding, shoring systems, trench boxes, cofferdams, lifting equipment, environmental protection measures, and traffic management solutions. By delivering practical, engineered support systems tailored to each project’s unique conditions, we help clients overcome logistical, environmental, and safety challenges while maintaining high standards of performance and compliance.
