Currys EV Charging Infrastructure
Metcor Electrical has successfully partnered with BP Pulse to install 14 electric vehicle (EV) chargers at Currys in Tilbury, Essex. This project marks a significant step in Currys’ transition to a fully electric fleet, aligning with their broader net-zero commitments.
Challenges
One of the key challenges faced during the installation was the presence of underground services, which posed risks of costly disruptions and delays. Under the leadership of Chris Porte, Head of Electric Vehicle Charging, the team adapted by redesigning the layout to route works overground, ensuring an efficient and streamlined installation process while mitigating risks.
Project Scope
Execution and Key Deliverables
The installation took place over an eight-week period, during which the team successfully:
- Installed over 160 metres of Armco double-stacked barrier, a significant undertaking to enhance site safety and charger protection.
- Delivered a high-quality, future-proof EV charging solution that supports Currys’ growing electric fleet.
Impact and Future Benefits
This successful project strengthens Metcor Electrical’s partnership with BP Pulse and reinforces their expertise in delivering high-quality EV charging infrastructure. The installation supports the UK’s transition to greener energy, providing a reliable and scalable charging solution for Currys’ fleet. By overcoming installation challenges with innovative solutions and expert execution, Metcor Electrical continues to lead the way in advancing sustainable transport infrastructure across the UK.
