Routine Maintenance & Inspection

Routine maintenance of high and low voltage plant should be carried out not simply to ensure reliable and economical service, but to comply with the provisions of the Health and Safety Executive.

In addition, all maintenance and inspection is carried out as recommended by the equipment manufacturers and as required by BS 6626:1985 Code of Practice for Maintenance of Electrical Switchgear and Control Gear. Such works are implemented in compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulation 1989.

Only trained, competent, Authorised and Senior Authorised personnel are utilised by HVMS. Our Engineers and Technicians are fully conversant with all varieties of electrical equipment, not to mention the differing handling, storing and disposal requirements.

HVMS strictly follow schedules of work and report on the condition of plant before and after remedial treatment with recommendations for future consideration. A comprehensive written report is issued to the client upon completion of work.

Partial Discharge Testing

Partial Discharge testing is used to analyse the presence of any electrical discharge within areas such as cable termination boxes, busbar chambers and switchgear enclosures, and is a non-intrusive test which can be carried out by competent persons with substation access without the need for a power shutdown.

Thermographic Survey

Thermographic testing has become an accepted method for diagnosing potential faults. This system of analysis is particularly useful when it is difficult to arrange power outages, as it is necessary to have the system live in order to detect high resistance joints. A comprehensive report is produced highlighting any anomalies that are found.

Emergency Response Retainer

Emergency Response cover will ensure that you have a team of highly experienced, fully qualified professionals just a phone call away to resolve any network safety or performance issues.

HVMS provide a range of flexible options to provide clients with the mix of Emergency Cover and Testing Services to suit any specific requirements.
