Safe Working Systems

Even during the construction of an HV network there is a legal requirement of customers under the provisions of the Electricity at Work Regulation 1989 to have appointed trained and competent staff.

HVMS can provide a ‘Safe System of Work’ for the operational control of the HV Network, during and after the construction phase utilising HVMS Distribution Safety Rules and principally the provision of suitably trained and experienced ‘Senior Authorised Persons’.

Through these staff we are able to provide temporary operational control of the network and manage the transition from construction phase though to client handover.

Turnkey Power Engineering

From design, procurement, construction, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of electrical distribution systems HVMS can provide a total Power Engineering service.
