Maintenance & Aftercare

Planned and reactive maintenance for renewable energy sites — keeping the civils, infrastructure and assets we build (and those we don't) performing for the long term.

Overview

Care that doesn't stop at handover

A renewable site needs looking after long after it's energised. Access tracks degrade under traffic, drainage silts up, fencing and compounds need upkeep, ground needs managing — and assets need checking to keep performing. Left unattended, small issues become expensive ones.

HWBC provides planned and reactive maintenance to keep sites in good working order — looking after the civil infrastructure as well as supporting asset and electrical maintenance, so a single contractor can keep the whole site running.

The HWBC edge

We built it, so we know it

There's a real advantage in having the firm that built a site maintain it. We know where the cables run, how the drainage was laid, how the ground behaves and where the site takes load — because we put it there. That means faster diagnosis, fewer surprises and maintenance that's right first time, without a third party learning the site from scratch.

It also means our work doesn't end at handover — turning a one-off build into a long-term relationship. And we maintain sites we didn't build, too.

Planned & reactive

P

Planned maintenance

Scheduled works that head off problems before they start.

  • Access road & trackway inspection, repair and re-grading
  • Drainage maintenance — channels, chambers, outfalls, balancing ponds
  • Fencing, gates and compound upkeep
  • Vegetation management and reinstatement aftercare
  • Planned asset and electrical checks and servicing
  • Scheduled inspections and condition reporting
R

Reactive maintenance

Responsive call-out support when something needs putting right.

  • Storm and weather damage — tracks, drainage, fencing
  • Drainage blockages and surface-water issues
  • Access repairs to keep the site operational
  • Reactive asset and electrical fault support
  • Rapid response to keep downtime and risk to a minimum
