OVERVIEW

IUS have completed the electrical construction works associated with the Melton Wind Farm development. The connection of the two 2.3MW Wind Turbines to the grid required a 33kV extension to the Northern Powergrid (NPg) electrical network. IUS were appointed to undertake the design and installation of the 33kV contestable elements of the connection works, along with the private 33kV and LV infrastructure.

DESCRIPTION

The project involved the construction of a combined building to house the 33kV NPg intake substation equipment and the customer owned 33kV switchgear.

The 33kV cable route to the new substation required the crossing of the Hull–London Railway Line by Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) methods. The IUS scope of works included all negotiations with Network Rail, HDD design and settlement calculations, possession planning and drilling operations.

The private electrical infrastructure installed by IUS included; 33kV, pilot and LV single core cables; a three panel 33kV switchboard; protection equipment; substation ancillary apparatus and two 2.5MVA containerised substations on raised platforms (flood risk mitigation).
