At Corner Copse in Swindon, Taylor Plant Ltd played a pivotal role in constructing a 132kV substation and completing the extensive trenching works needed to connect it to the National Grid. This essential project underpins the area’s growing energy infrastructure, ensuring reliable power supply for years to come.
The scope of works included the full construction of the substation, from foundation preparation to structural installations, as well as the intricate trenching required to safely house and connect high-voltage cables.
With a focus on precision and safety, our team overcame challenges such as complex ground conditions and tight timelines to deliver a robust and efficient solution. Every stage adhered to the highest standards of civil engineering and electrical safety.
By combining innovative techniques with our experienced workforce, we ensured the project was completed on time and within budget, providing a reliable addition to the National Grid’s network infrastructure.
