NEW SERVICE - EHV Cable Design
We are excited to announce the addition of a new service to our offerings - EHV Cable Design.
Adam Yates, our GM – United Kingdom says this new service has been developed as a result of strong demand from our existing customers, who are looking to connect new points of generation, or to remove existing over headlines to allow for new infrastructure construction.
This service is complementary to the existing design and consulting services Groundline offers. Bringing this service into Groundline will mean shorter timeframes for project completion and better value for money for our clients. It also means derisks the delivery of projects by eliminating hand-offs between different phases, ensuring a more seamless, joined-up approach.
The team will be based in the UK and led by Roger Key who joins us as our General Manager – Cable Engineering. Roger has over 20 years’ experience in EHV cable design and delivery roles, and we’re excited to have him join the team to lead this new venture.
Anyone interested in cable design should contact their existing Groundline contact or contact us here - https://www.groundlineengineering.com/contact
