Скачать или смотреть EP22: WATT An Experience: 11kv Substation Install!

OHHH it’s an electrifying one construction fans! ⚡️ Get ready for a truly charged episode as the Build It Right team performs a delicate dance with 11,000 volts! Oli and Evan lead the charge on an electrical substation installation, working alongside the experts from National Grid.

While this powerful new substation remains National Grid's property, ensuring the crucial Low Voltage (LV) and High Voltage (HV) ducts are precisely laid falls entirely to our team. It's a high-stakes operation, navigating a spaghetti junction of existing live electric, gas, and water services already powering neighbouring businesses – talk about current affairs! 🔌💧🔥

A massive shout-out and hats off to the pros from 365 VACEX - vacuum excavation specialists! Their precision sucking was absolutely vital; this intricate job truly couldn't have sparked to life without them. You'll see incredible control as they work around live utilities!

This episode also brings some new plant power to the forefront, as the team brings in a new digger and dumper to operate in incredibly tight spaces.
