We can fully detail out the equipment required for your cable or OHL project, some of which will need careful positioning along the route, based on the latest Design Specifications, British Standards and Euro Codes.
We can advise you on the appropriate level of instrusive and non-intrusive surveys. Once we have determined a good route design and our desktop studies have indicated what "should" be under the ground, we can overlay our installation methodology and tell you the type, location and quantity of ground investigation that is required in order to obtain the information needed to confidently progress to the next stage of your project.
We can produce detailed "Stage by Stage" documentation to allow for quick reference to the proposed sequence of work, for any project, large or small. Activity durations and dependancies are carefully considered to define critical paths through the construction phase and to refresh design option choices as required.
We can accurately quantify the amount and type of vehicle movements for any project, large or small. We specialise in linear projects such as overhead line new-builds and underground cable installation. We can prepare traffic management plans and advise on traffic routes, avoiding important public uses such as schools and emergency service routes.
We can advise on how the proposed infrastructure should be constructed safely, quickly and reliably. The installation methods can then feedback into the design as part of an iterative process. Design detail and construction technique go hand-in-hand.
We can carry out full desktop searches for 3rd party surveys, unexploded ordnance, flood risk and sensitive land designations. From this we can develop a plan for further, more indepth surveys, both intrusive and non-intrusive. We can also carry out physical scans to build up a more accurate picture of what is below the ground.
We can confidently find a route through urban and rural areas, overcoming obstacles such as flood plains, water courses and weak/soft ground. We carefully consider existing infrastructure such as railway lines, tram lines and roads. We are always sensitive to land designations such as Special Areas of Conservation, Sites of Special Scientific Interest, European Habitats and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
