Services/ Substation Design

Substation Design

Voltserve delivers full design packages for substations up to 132kV.
Typical work includes:

Equipment layouts

We develop detailed equipment layouts for substations, ensuring optimal positioning, safe clearances, and efficient use of space while maintaining compliance with UK engineering standards and operational requirements.

Busbar configurations

Our team designs reliable busbar configurations to suit project requirements, balancing flexibility, safety, and performance while ensuring compatibility with grid standards and future network expansion.

Protection schemes

We create comprehensive protection schemes to safeguard substation assets, ensuring rapid fault detection, system stability, and compliance with all relevant safety and operational regulations.

Cable routing coordination

We coordinate cable routing within substations, ensuring efficient connections between equipment while minimising interference, maintaining safety clearances, and supporting practical installation and maintenance access.

Interface with Civil Infrastructure

We coordinate closely with civil engineering teams to ensure electrical designs align with structural layouts, foundations, and site constraints, enabling efficient construction, seamless integration, and compliance with project and safety requirements.
