With careful planning and expert execution, Voltari provided Van Leeuwen with a reliable EV charger installation, strengthening its EV charging infrastructure.
Client Challenges
Van Leeuwen required a robust commercial EV charger solution to accommodate staff and operational needs while minimising disruption. The project’s key challenges included:
- Staff and vehicle movement: The installation required extensive groundwork across the staff car park, necessitating a temporary parking area for approximately seven days.
- Internet connectivity: The new charge points needed an internet connection, requiring an additional line installation to ensure optimal performance.
Our Challenges
Beyond the client’s concerns, Voltari faced additional complexities, including:
- Outdated electrical infrastructure: The facility, a 1970s industrial building, had an ageing electrical switchgear that required an upgrade before installation could proceed.
- Minimising disruption: Coordinating groundwork and installation within an active manufacturing site, ensuring minimal downtime and efficient project delivery.
Solutions Implemented
Voltari’s strategic approach ensured a smooth and efficient installation:
Electrical system assessment and upgrade
We conducted a thorough load assessment across multiple isolators in the building, selecting the one with the highest available capacity to support the new charge points.
Proactive groundwork planning
Our subcontracted groundwork team began trenching on day one, prioritising the car park area to ensure a temporary parking solution was established promptly, reducing disruption.
Seamless EV charger installation
We installed two evec dual-socket pedestal chargers, which included:
- 22kW Dual Socket Pedestal EV Charger (fast charging).
- 7.4kW Dual Socket Pedestal EV Charger (slower charging for extended use).
Internet integration
We facilitated the installation of a dedicated internet line, ensuring reliable network connectivity for the new charge points.
Conclusion
This project reinforced Voltari’s reputation as a trusted, expert provider of commercial EV charging solutions. We delivered a high-quality solution by efficiently managing electrical upgrades, coordinating with subcontractors, ensuring minimal disruption, and reinforcing their EV charging infrastructure.
Whether upgrading legacy electrical systems or implementing large-scale EV solutions, Voltari remains committed to excellence in every installation.
