132kV Data Centre Connection

Locations: Hemel Hempstead, UK

project brief

The client required the delivery of a 6.5km civil infrastructure route, primarily within public highways, as part of a 60MVA 132kV Data Centre connection in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.

key project deliverables

  • JSM constructed a dedicated 11kV substation, a 132kV dual transformer bund area, and an iDNO-adoptable 132kV switchgear compound
  • Temporary power was required during substation works, resulting in 1.6km of 11kV cables being installed. This prevented delays to the client’s energisation requirements
  • The Special Engineering Difficulties included bypassing a bridge. Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) was used to ensure no disruption to traffic
