Samuel Ryder Academy
Background
The Samuel Ryder Academy added a sports complex and additional teaching facilities to its campus in St Albans. Sinewave supported the principal contractor by completing all on-site electrical works. Tight deadlines and COVID-19 restrictions made the project more challenging.
The Technicals
One 11kV HV substation with LV bulk supply
Two LV disconnections from UKPN network
50 meters of off-site civils works to HV POC
On-site works, including substation earthing, commissioning of substation, SPL works
How we approached it
As the dedicated Independent Connection Provider, Sinewave supported Cadman Construction by installing an 11kV substation and bulk LV supply to increase the academy’s electric supply needs. Sinewave completed all on-site infrastructure, off-site contestable connection works and two LV disconnections before completing the project for the client and adopting partners LEEP and UKPN in January 2021.
The end result
As a leading academic institution, located in South Hertfordshire, Samuel Ryder Academy continues to expand in size. Adding greater electrical capacity to the school allowed it to replace low-voltage connections with a larger capacity HV substation to facilitate additional growth.
“Sinewave formed a strong relationship with Cadman Construction during this project. Tight deadlines and working through the COVID-19 pandemic at the school added many challenges, but all were overcome.”
