UK Power Station Modular Switchrooms
ADE were appointed by a leading global manufacturer of electrical control systems to design and manufacture 4 bespoke modular to house their control and distribution equipment for a UK CCGT CHP .
The scope consisted of LV, MV, and VSD modules, and a termination chamber. To accelerate programme delivery, the VSD module was manufactured and fitted out in a traditional method, while the remaining 3 modules were delivered utilising a “skid and lid” approach.
For the LV, MV and termination chamber modules, the “skids” (bases) and the “lids” (wall and roof assemblies) were fabricated and C5M-painted separately. Once complete, the skids were delivered to the client for installation of their , and other equipment.
Simultaneously, ADE fitted out the lids with lighting, small , earthing, HVAC and other required auxiliary equipment. The equipped skids were then returned to ADE for final test fitting and quality checks prior to dispatch.
On site, the were positioned and installed by ADE engineers, with the LV, MV and VSD modules combined to form a single multi-module structure atop an ADE designed and manufactured 1.4 metre-high galvanised substructure, complete with access platforms and stairs.
Following installation, ADE engineers also installed all the interconnecting cabling between the enclosed equipment. The completed installation now provides secure, reliable housing for the vital power control at the facility.
