One of the key factors in the successful delivery of our projects is the early-stage engagement with our clients. When your grid connection is likely to be the critical path risk to your overall Data Centre projects, don’t leave it to luck, leave it to the experts at eSmart Networks.
Meeting tight deadlines to connect large manufacturing plants or logistic fulfilment centres to the electrical grid is crucial for customers in the industrial and commercial sector.
When a developer schedules a tenant to move into an industrial facility, they often reach out to eSmart Networks to handle the electrical connection from the main grid to the substation. We then extend the connection from the substation to the tenant’s metering point, ensuring full support for the private network infrastructure.
