Allenby-Aldershot 11kv Connection

« Back to the Portfolio

Aldershot Garrison is currently supplied with electricity at a voltage of 33kV and the MoD has privately owned 33/11kV transformers which supply the main 11kV switchboards at the Garrison.

The 33kV connection is to be replaced with a new 11kVconnection directly from Scottish & Southern. The new 11kV connection will include a new 11kV switchboard, enabling the old transformers and switchboard at the garrison to be de-commissioned and scrapped. The works include:

• Design and construction of a new switchroom.
• Installation of new switchgear.
• Installation of new 11kV circuits from Scottish and Southern's network (approx. 2000m long).
• Transfer of Aldershot 11kV circuits from old to new switchboards.
• Removal and disposal of redundant electrical plant.

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 are a major departure from their 2007 forbearers and place much greater responsibilities on the Client and on the Principal Designer where very little formal requirement existed previously. The Regulations focus heavily on these “Duty-Holders” and their responsibilities within the management of any project – even very small projects. Long O Donnell Associates have been involved in CDM from the earliest days and are well placed to provide advice and support for both Client and Principal Designers in the fulfilment of their “Duties”.
