Eric Wright Group

We provided a full turnkey solution to deliver the necessary electrical connection and effectively power new electric vehicle chargers for Eric Wright Group through our electrical connection upgrades.

Overview

Eric Wright Group required a high-capacity electrical infrastructure upgrade at their head office to support a new bank of 10 electric vehicle chargers. The project involved significant enhancements, including substation installation and commissioning for an 800kVA unit, public highway cable works, and EV charger distribution infrastructure.

Solution

Serconnect delivered a full turnkey solution—procuring and installing the 800kVA substation, GRP housing, and EV charger distribution pillars. The project began with the safe disconnection and removal of an existing 3c 95 SAC LV cable, including excavation and reinstatement in the public highway.

A new 3c 300 waveform cable was installed to supply the main building. We installed and terminated three 200A Lucy Zodion pillars, each supporting 16 x 7kW chargers, along with associated earth mats. LV car charger plinths were installed by the appointed civil contractor, who also completed the public highway works.

In addition, we utilised our Option 2 status as an Independent Connection Provider, carrying out all HV and LV on-site cabling and operational duties on the Electricity North West distribution network using our own ENWL-authorised staff, ensuring safety, compliance, and reduced reliance on third parties.

Outcome

The project was completed efficiently and on schedule. The new electric vehicle charging hub infrastructure supports a bank of 10 EV chargers and significantly boosts site capacity for future demands. The successful turnkey delivery by Serconnect ensured a seamless process from procurement to energisation, providing Eric Wright Group with a resilient and future-ready energy solution.

For InstaVolt and Stokers Furniture in Chester, Serconnect delivered a full turnkey HV and LV infrastructure package.

I would like to recognise the excellent work undertaken by Serconnect on the Stokers Furniture Chester project, which represented a significant milestone for InstaVolt as our first scheme to be delivered using an X-Type package substation through an ICP partner.

Throughout the project, the Serconnect team demonstrated a proactive, collaborative and solutions-focused approach. Their engagement with InstaVolt, the DNO, IDNO and wider project stakeholders helped navigate a technically complex scheme whilst maintaining momentum through the design, approval and construction phases.
