Six rows made up of thousands of clamps are being installed along the entire wall of each of the CRL tunnels to house leaky feeder cables. Leaky? Well, the cables are ‘leaky’ because they do in fact sort of leak. They leak, or emit, radio signals along their entire length – allowing for two-way radio communications inside the tunnels, along with 3G, 4G and 5G coverage for commuters. Once the team has finished, around 40 kilometres of these cables will run inside the tunnels. Here our Omexom team securing some of the leaky feeder cable clamps into place using an elevated work platform. #construction #cables #infrastructure #tunnel #tunnels #wireless

Electrical Planning Reports in BC are now MANDATORY! On May 11, 2023, British Columbia enacted a law to facilitate the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging in strata corporations. As of December 6, 2023, regulations now specify the process for strata corporations to approve EV charging and require strata corporations, with more five or more units, to obtain an electrical planning report.

These lines carry electricity at extremely high voltages, efficiently transmitting power across vast distances. #electricalsafety #electricianservices #electrician #electricalcontractor #qualityworkmanship #electricalsolutions #safetyfirst #reliableservice #SJElectric #SJE

What Is EHV Electrical Infrastructure? EHV (Extra High Voltage) electrical infrastructure refers to the network components designed to transmit electricity at voltages typically above 132 kV. This facilitates long-distance, high-capacity power transmission with minimal losses. Some key components and aspects of EHV electrical infrastructure include: #EHVInfrastructure #HighVoltage #PowerTransmission #EnergyNetwork #ElectricalEngineering #RenewableEnergy #SmartGrid#UtilityIndustry #EnergyEfficiency #GridModernization

Do the EV minimum requirements under the NCC 2022 Section J9D4 affect your projects? Accommodating for EVs is now mandatory on new builds and refurbs. Why are these requirements in place? To meet the rising demand for electric vehicles, develop infrastructure for future uptake and monitor EV's impact on energy consumption within buildings. The mandated collection of individual time data for electric vehicle charging stations helps building owners and operators identify peak usage times, plan for optimal energy distribution, and implement strategies accordingly. What does this mean for you? Do you have a partner supporting the electrical engineering and design to comply with these mandates? If not, EVSG is here to help - reach out to discuss how these mandates impact your projects. #EVs #electricvehicles #EVcharging #builders #construction

🔋 Installing a commercial EV charging station involves several steps to ensure a smooth and efficient process. 1️⃣ Firstly, a site survey is conducted to assess the location for the station, considering factors such as electrical infrastructure, access for users, and local regulations. 2️⃣ Next, necessary permits and approvals are obtained from relevant authorities. Following this, electrical work is done to connect the charging station to the power supply, including trenching, wiring, and installation of necessary hardware. 3️⃣ Once the hardware is in place, the station is tested to ensure it is functioning correctly. Finally, the station is commissioned, and ongoing maintenance plans are put in place to keep it operational. ✅ Collaborating with experienced professionals like ourselves throughout this process can help ensure a successful installation of a commercial EV charging station. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eWwARMK6 #ElectricVehicle #ChargingStation #ChargeStation #EVCharging #EV #EVStation #EVChargePoint #EVChargePointTesting #CommercialTesting #ComplianceTesting #ElectricalCompliance #ElectricalInstallation #ElectricalSafety #ElectricalInspection #ElectricalTesting #Electrical #Testing

EV Charging Requirements (NCC 2022 Section J9D4) As you're probably aware, there are minimum requirements for your new and refurbished builds relating to electric vehicle charging equipment. Buildings require electrical distribution boards dedicated to electrical vehicle charging coupled with the capacity to support the delivery and monitoring of the minimum power specified in J9D4 (2). Time-stamped energy data collected from EV charging must be centralised in the same user interface as the energy meters from other individual loads on site. Given these mandates - do you have anyone supporting the electrical engineering and design of the new EV requirements? If not, EVSG is here to help - reach out to learn more. #EVs #electricvehicles #EVcharging #builders #construction

The Regulated Industries Commission's (RIC) - Overall Electricity Standard #4 - STREET LIGHT MAINTENANCE. This standard states that: - T&TEC is required to repair 100% of non-functional streetlights under its control, within 7 working days after receiving a notification, except highway lighting. - T&TEC is required to monitor highway lighting and repair 100% of non- functional lighting found within 14 working days. #StreetLightMaintenance #RIC #OES4 #OverallElectricityStandards
