Capability

What we
deliver.

From busbar and line-entry gantries through lightning masts and structural girders — every fabrication is engineered to conductor tensions, short-circuit forces and crane loads, hot-dip galvanised and delivered in lifts sequenced to site cranage.

  • Busbar and line gantries

    Phase 01

    Busbar and line gantries

    Lattice and portal-style gantries for incoming overhead lines, busbar runs and line terminations — engineered to the conductor tensions and electrical clearances specified.

    • Lattice & portal styles
    • Conductor-tension engineered
    • Clearance compliant
    • Termination-ready
  • Lightning masts

    Phase 02

    Lightning masts

    Lattice and tubular lightning protection masts up to project-specified heights, hot-dip galvanised with integrated earthing connections for compliant lightning protection zones.

    • Lattice & tubular masts
    • Integrated earthing
    • Hot-dip galvanised
    • LPS-zone designed
  • Structural girders

    Phase 03

    Structural girders

    Heavy-duty girders for switchroom roofs, GIS buildings and equipment housings — engineered to crane loads, plant weights and seismic requirements as specified.

    • Switchroom & GIS girders
    • Crane load engineered
    • Plant weights covered
    • Seismic where required
  • Erection-ready

    Phase 04

    Erection-ready

    Modular bolted assemblies, workshop trial-fitted then galvanised, delivered with HDG bolt packs, marked drawings and lift sequences aligned to site cranage.

    • Workshop trial-fitted
    • HDG bolt packs
    • Lift-sequenced delivery
    • Site cranage aligned
  • ISOQAR ISO 9001 certified
  • Auva ISO accredited
  • UKCA marking

Gantries & supports

Substation gantries, lightning masts and structural girders

Heavy-duty structural steel gantries, lattice and tubular lightning masts and switchroom girders for HV and EHV substations — engineered to conductor tensions, short-circuit forces and crane loads, hot-dip galvanised and CE / UKCA marked.

Modular bolted assemblies are workshop trial-fitted, galvanised, then delivered with HDG bolt packs and lift sequences aligned to site cranage and access constraints.

Engineered to the layout

Our engineering and design team co-ordinates clearances and electrical layouts before any steel is cut.

Wider substation package

Gantries integrate with galvanised support structures and access platforms — one accredited supplier across the compound.
