Arrangements are customised to suit a 24/7, 365 days operation. Essential 25kV AC Isolations are arranged weeks in advance in order to ensure the limits of the worksite protect clients and suppliers. Detailed site meetings and conference calls are held in order to ensure access is safely optimised. Safe System of Work Planning Schedule Example:
