eSmart Networks were appointed to a framework for Artelia to install 11kV connected EV charging hubs across the UK.
This framework included the first Artelia site in Europe using Tritium PKM 150 EV charging points.
As part of this project eSmart Networks Designed, Built and Installed of new HV substation, including precast bases, network connection and LV pillar terminations.
We used a pre-cast concrete base which allowed for reduced onsite installation times for base, substation, grating and GRP.
Frequent Programme reviews for framework, dedicated onsite manager liaising directly with customer and other contractors to ensure fluidity of installation.
Detailed design work completed as working around hazardous areas with bespoke earthing reports, to ensure safety of install.
We completed local authority negotiations to close a lane of road for completions of works, while maintaining access and allowing Shell to continue to operate business as usual.
Our dedicated legal compliance team ensured the legal status of the site was progressing throughout the project by securing input and answers from the DNO, Artelia and Shell the end customer.
The pre-cast base solution, developed alongside industry standards, minimised the time required, number of personnel and vehicles required on site saving both time and money.
With our detailed design works we were able to suggest improvements and agree these back to the DNO. The DNO HV audit also passed first time to allow prompt connection in line with our customer and the end customers required timetable
Our legal compliance team ensuring the status of the site was progressing as needed ensured the programme was achieved.
eSmart Networks partnered with SWARCO to deliver one of their smart charging projects, for Carmarthenshire County Council and the Welsh Government.
Together, our teams designed, engineered and delivered an innovative solution for the connection and construction of an integrated solar carport, battery storage and EV charging hub in the village of Cross Hands off the major A48 highway.
We designed and installed bespoke low voltage equipment to control and manage the interface between the combined technologies.
SUDs (sustainable drainage system) installed to minimise the effects on the local infrastructure and be environmentally beneficial.
Using our NERS accreditation we completed all diversion works ourselves, ensuring a smooth end-to-end service for our customers.
We integrated SWARCO and eSmart PM and delivery teams to ensure seamless implementation and handover to the SWARCO network operation and support teams.
SWARCO are a global ITS brand, trusted with EV infrastructure operations across the UK since 2010, with over 10000 CPs installed and operated. Quality and reliability are the foundation of the SWARCO Smart Charging brand and eSmart Networks provided meticulous project management and solutions to site challenges when scope changes were required.
We worked closely with the SWARCO project manager throughout and this alongside our full turn-key solution as both Principle Contractor and Designer ensured a successful final project delivery.
