As one of the 100 plus substations that we work on each year, this project involved the installation of deep driven earth rods, connections to reinforcing and the installation of a ‘Marshalling Earth Bar’ around the substation walls.

We use a selection of methods to provide a low resistance earth, including earth rods, mats or plates, soil conditioning agents, deep drilled bore-holes – the selection will depend on the particular requirements for the substation and the soil resistivity of the ground.

A Lightning Protection System is also provided to the building to ensure that all possible measures are in hand.
