A complete trenching and cable-installation package on a 29MW solar development in Oxfordshire — from MV and LV trenching to fibre, manholes and road crossings, self-delivered alongside the principal contractor.
Discuss a similar projectOn a 29MW solar farm development in Oxfordshire, HWBC delivered the full trenching and cable-installation package — excavating MV, LV and communications trenches and installing HV/LV cabling, fibre optic infrastructure, CCTV networks and the associated service crossings.
Working alongside the principal contractor, we provided a complete, coordinated groundworks-to-cable solution that supported the site through to successful energisation.
Over 12 km of trenching, including 1,290m of MV trenches and the LV network across the site.
Over 12 km of cable installed, including 9,891m of LV cable, pulled and laid through the trenched routes.
171 manholes installed across the network for pulling, jointing and access.
1,350m of fibre optic installation, with CCTV and communications infrastructure.
14 road crossings, ducted and reinstated to carry cable beneath access routes.
Backfill and full reinstatement of the trenched routes across the site.
