The project began with an extensive site survey and consultation with the client to determine their needs and understand their existing electrical infrastructure. The distribution centre had a large fleet of vehicles transitioning to electric, making the installation of charging stations a crucial step in their sustainability efforts.

As a prominent provider of end-to-end electric vehicle charging solutions, we cater to both businesses and residential customers. In this case study, we highlight the seamless installation of 10 Dual ROLEC Quantum Units at a major distribution centre in the North East. This project involved a wide range of tasks, including comprehensive electrical work, groundworks, and line-marking, to create an efficient and reliable charging infrastructure for the company's fleet of electric vehicles. The integration of these chargers not only reduces the company's carbon footprint but also improves operational efficiency and supports future growth.

Electrical Work

Our expert team conducted a detailed electrical assessment to identify the required upgrades and modifications to the distribution centre's electrical system. This involved upgrading the main distribution board and installing new sub-panels to support the increased power demand from the charging units. We also installed the necessary protection devices and metering equipment to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the charging infrastructure.

Groundworks

The groundworks phase of the project involved preparing the site for the installation of the charging stations. This included excavation, laying down a solid foundation, and installing the necessary conduits and cable runs. The team carefully considered the distribution of the chargers to optimise space utilisation and ensure easy access for vehicles. We also took into account the anticipated growth in the number of electric vehicles in the fleet to ensure the infrastructure can accommodate future expansion.

Line-Marking

To enhance safety and improve the overall user experience, the team carried out precise line-marking around the charging stations. This included the allocation of designated parking spaces for electric vehicles and clear signage to guide drivers to the charging points. The team also incorporated wayfinding markers and accessibility features to comply with relevant regulations and ensure the charging stations are user-friendly for all employees.

The ROLEC Quantum Units

The Dual ROLEC Quantum Units are versatile and cost-effective solutions that offer fast and efficient charging for electric vehicles.
