Client: Connected Kerb / Perth & Kinross Council Car Park
Completion date: July 2024
HF divisions involved: Electrical, Green Energy
Brief project description: With the growing demand for electric vehicles comes the growing demand for ev charging installations. At HF, our green energy team have successfully completed the installation of 12 new electric vehicle (EV) charging points for Connected Kerb. This project is one of many EV Charging Installation projects our green energy team are part of as we support the transition to sustainable transportation and improve EV infrastructure across the UK. The new EV chargers are strategically located within the Perth & Kinross Council Car Park on Victoria Street, Perth, providing convenient access for EV users.
Our electricians managed the excavation and groundwork required to install the charging points. This included preparing the site, laying foundations, and ensuring all work met the necessary regulatory standards. We carried out all electrical installations, ensuring the chargers are safely and efficiently connected to the power supply. This included the installation of necessary wiring, connectors, and safety features to guarantee reliable and secure operation.
To ensure clear and safe access to the charging points, we installed appropriate signage and barriers. This included directional signs, usage instructions, and safety barriers to protect the charging stations and users.
Our team completed the project by adding white lining to mark designated EV charging bays. This helps to clearly identify the spaces reserved for EV users and ensures the efficient use of the charging infrastructure.
Project Challenges: The primary challenge for our EV Charging Installers was coordinating the civil works and electrical installations within an operational car park without causing significant disruption to daily activities. To overcome this challenge, we implemented a phased work schedule to minimise disruption. Work was carried out during off-peak hours where possible, and temporary access solutions were provided to ensure continuous car park use. Clear communication with the council and car park users was maintained throughout the project to address any concerns and ensure smooth progress.
The project was completed on time and within budget, showcasing our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. The new EV charging points are now operational, providing much-needed infrastructure to support the growing number of electric vehicles in Perth. This installation not only facilitates the transition to greener transportation but also supports Perth & Kinross Council’s sustainability goals.
