The challenge

The project commenced onsite at the outset of the COVID-19 outbreak.

This generated immediate review and implementation of stringent H&S procedures onsite. The project programme required revising to facilitate the revised onsite construction processes and procedures.

Innovation and Added Value

Pre-cast concrete EV blocks were used for charging stations which offer significant sustainability advantages over in-situ concrete construction methods, including reduced material waste, lower carbon emissions, faster installation, enhanced quality control, reuse and recyclability, and improved durability.

A two output charging station was proposed which resulted in cost savings compared to installing single output stations. This was due to the installation, maintenance and operational costs associated with two-output stations are often lower on a per-charging-point basis, leading to overall cost-effectiveness.

Armco barriers were implemented to provide protection for the feeder pillars, safeguarding against accidental damage from vehicles within the car park. This contributed to the safety of both drivers and pedestrians by reducing the risk of electrical hazards and accidents caused by collisions with exposed infrastructure.
