At ICL Formwork Ltd, we have over 12 years of experience in delivering high-quality substation construction and upgrade services across the North West. Our extensive expertise covers projects in key locations such as Crewe, Birkenhead, Liverpool, Chester, and Stoke, where we’ve successfully completed numerous substations as part of FCE projects. We understand the critical role substations play in energy distribution and have consistently delivered reliable, long-lasting infrastructure that meets the specific needs of our clients.
In addition to traditional substation construction, we are also proud to be part of the green energy transition through our work on the Green Recovery program. This includes upgrading substations to support electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and energy housing units as part of broader energy upgrades. These projects are vital for supporting the UK’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and improving access to sustainable energy sources.
Comprehensive Substation Solutions
We offer a full range of substation services, from initial construction to modernisation for green energy initiatives. Our capabilities include:
- Substation Construction
We handle all aspects of substation construction, from site preparation and civil works to the installation of electrical infrastructure. Our experienced team ensures that each substation is built to the highest standards, ready to handle the growing energy demands of today’s grid. - Green Energy Upgrades
As part of the Green Recovery program, we are heavily involved in upgrading substations to support electric vehicle charging infrastructure and energy housing for renewable power sources. These upgrades are essential for modernising the energy grid and ensuring it can support the next generation of green technologies. - Turnkey Substation Projects
We provide end-to-end substation solutions, managing every stage of the project, from design and planning to construction and commissioning. Our turnkey service ensures that the project is delivered efficiently, on time, and within budget. - Maintenance and Upgrades
Beyond construction, we offer ongoing maintenance and upgrade services for existing substations. This includes increasing capacity, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring compliance with the latest safety and environmental regulations.
Our Substation Construction Process
Our approach to substation projects ensures a seamless and efficient construction process:
- Detailed Site Assessments
We begin each project with a comprehensive site assessment to understand the specific energy requirements and environmental factors that will influence the substation design. This ensures we can deliver a solution that meets both current and future energy needs. - Customised Design and Planning
Our design team works closely with clients to develop a substation layout that maximises efficiency and minimises environmental impact. We consider everything from load requirements to the integration of renewable energy sources in our planning process. - Efficient Construction and Installation
Our experienced construction team handles all civil works, electrical infrastructure, and equipment installation, ensuring that every component is built to the highest standards. Our work is meticulously planned to ensure minimal disruption and timely completion. - Testing and Commissioning
Once the substation is constructed, we rigorously test and commission all systems to ensure they meet regulatory requirements and operate at optimal efficiency. This process guarantees that the substation is fully operational and ready for integration into the energy grid.
