Working around a live broadcast site

The workshops at Elstree never really stop, so the brief was straightforward, get the electrics where they need to be without making the rest of the building stand still. Containment first, then circuits in stages, with every isolation pre-agreed with the facilities team.

What we installed

  • SWA submains from the incoming supply to a new wall-mounted distribution board
  • Metal tray containment carrying the cable runs at high level
  • Perimeter trunking dropping cleanly to small-power outlets at bench height
  • Dedicated machinery circuits sized to the equipment loads they serve
  • Emergency lighting tested and re-certified to BS 5266 on retained circuits

How it tested

Every new circuit was inspected and certified at completion. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) was issued covering the retained existing circuits we'd worked alongside, with a short schedule of recommended remedials handed over to the facilities team for their next cycle.
