Electric Vehicle Charging, E.ON, Lancashire

DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF 5 X 11KW TWIN EV CHARGERS

SCOPE OF PROJECT:
Design and installation of 5 x 11kw Twin EV Chargers in Clitheroe on behalf of the local authority

CONTRACT VALUE:
£575K

Aptus was approached by E.ON Drive to deliver the design and installation of 5 x 11kw Twin EV Chargers in Clitheroe on behalf of the local authority.

Due to the load requirements, an assessment was needed to determine the closest point of connection to the Low Voltage network and an appropriate installation designed.

The design needed to include ENWL connection works, the design and cable calculations to the EV Chargers from the mains kiosk. Risk assessments had to considered, including the simultaneous contact assessments that showed that the exiting street lighting columns would need to have the earthing system changed to a TT System due to the proximity to the chargers.

With NERS accreditation alongside NICEIC accreditation, Aptus stood out as having the ability to undertake the full scope of works from design through to installation and commissioning and finally, certification and handover.

Aptus designers and estimators worked closely with the E.ON Drive team to design a system within scope and budget. From there, the installation team was able to plan the installation works and arrange traffic management, Local Authority opening notices and car park access including the disablement of car park bays whilst installation was in progress.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

“Aptus provided us with a complete professional turnkey service, from the initial LV design works, Point of Connection arrangements through to installation and site handover.

“Adrian and the team were a pleasure to work with and kept us fully updated throughout the works. Our client is extremely happy with the installation that now provides the town with sufficient charging points for both local residents and visitors and appreciates that this installation was carried out during an extremely challenging time (COVID-19).”

“We would have no hesitation in using Aptus on future projects”
