Grid: Substation & Plant

Lowery bring our safe, high-compliance culture to the engineering, design, installation, testing and commissioning of high-voltage power plant, assets and cabling to DNO and TSO-operated national critical power infrastructure.

Working for DNOs, Tier 1 contractors and renewable energy developers, we can provide turnkey construction services or M&E and/or civil installation. Our services include:

• Switchgear installation
• Bay and busbar configuration
• CRMS, routing and ducting
• Cabling – HV multi-core, LV and fibre-optic
• Earthing, terminations and glanding
• Protection Panels
• LVAC Panels and Battery Chargers
• Testing and commissioning

We are also trained in modern GIS switchgear, e.g. g3*

Supporting services include:

• ECI/Design Support
• Equipment storage and off-site testing/configuration
• Recoveries
• Site enabling
• Civil base construction
• Civil routework

Uniquely, Lowery is able to directly deliver our own civil engineering and site services – e.g. delivering the cable civils with the cabling or the base before the balance of plant. Many of our personnel are dual-trained with electrical and civil competencies to bake this into our way of doing business. Reduced hand-offs and co-ordination means better quality outcomes.

Working directly with infrastructure owners and as installation and power systems specialist partner to Tier 1 contractors, Lowery pride ourselves on bringing value-add collaboration whatever our role.
