Our in-house team of chartered electrical design engineers possesses extensive expertise in the design and implementation of electrical distribution systems across diverse sectors and projects. Our analytical approach to electrical design ensures that your client brief is thoroughly assessed and understood before we develop innovative solutions.
We conduct comprehensive assessments of your electrical infrastructure requirements at each stage of the project lifecycle, from initial feasibility studies through to detailed design, construction documentation, and commissioning support. This methodical approach ensures that your electrical systems are optimized for performance, compliance, and future expansion capabilities.
Our power system analysis begins with detailed load assessments to determine your current and future electrical requirements. We utilize advanced modeling software to analyze load profiles, calculate demand factors, and determine optimal transformer and switchgear ratings. This comprehensive approach ensures your electrical infrastructure is correctly sized while maintaining compliance with Engineering Recommendation P28 and G5/5 for harmonics and voltage fluctuations.
We provide complete electrical system design from the Distribution Network Operator’s point of connection through to your facility’s internal distribution network. Our design services include:
– Single line diagram schematic development with protection coordination
– Switchgear specification and selection
– Transformer sizing and specification
– Cable sizing calculations considering fault levels and voltage drop
– Protection relay coordination and settings
– Earthing system design to BS EN 50522
– G99 compliance documentation and technical submissions
– Detailed construction drawings and specifications
Our electrical characteristics analysis encompasses comprehensive power quality assessment, harmonic studies, and system stability analysis. We evaluate voltage regulation, power factor correction requirements, and harmonic filter design when necessary. This detailed analysis ensures your electrical system operates efficiently while maintaining compliance with DNO requirements and relevant standards including Engineering Recommendation G5/5.
We conduct detailed protection coordination studies to ensure selective operation of protective devices throughout your electrical network. Our grading studies include:
– Fault level calculations at all significant points

Our comprehensive earthing system design ensures personnel safety and equipment protection. We conduct soil resistivity testing, calculate earth fault currents, and design earthing systems that comply with BS EN 50522 and ENA technical specifications. Our earthing designs include electrode layout, conductor sizing, and step and touch voltage calculations to verify safety under all fault conditions.
We provide detailed cable design and selection services, considering:
– Current-carrying capacity under various installation methods and conditions
– Voltage drop calculations for steady-state and motor starting
– Short-circuit thermal withstand verification
– Economic optimization of cable size vs. losses
– Installation method specification and routing
– Cable support system design
– Termination and joint specifications
– Type testing documentation and compliance verification.
Our substation design services encompass complete 11kV secondary substation layouts, including:
– Switchgear configuration and specification
– Transformer selection and protection requirements
– Building or enclosure design coordination
– Ventilation and cooling calculations
– Fire protection system specification
– Auxiliary power supply design
– Control and monitoring system integration
– Compliance with ENA technical specifications and local DNO requirements.
Our design approach follows a structured methodology:
1. Briefing Document: Detailed assessment of your electrical needs, site constraints, and future expansion plans which form the scope
2. Conceptual Design: Development of routes and likely electrical loads (kVA)
3. Detailed Design: Comprehensive calculations, equipment selection, and documentation
4. Design Review: Internal verification and validation against standards and requirements
5. Client Approval: Presentation and explanation of design solutions
6. Construction Support: Technical guidance during implementation
7. Commissioning Assistance: Verification of installed systems against design intent
This systematic approach ensures your electrical infrastructure is designed to the highest standards of safety, reliability, and efficiency.
