The civil engineers had the site from 16/11/09 – 25/01/10 to lay the foundations for the new 132kV switchgear that SES Ltd. installed and commissioned.
SES's Scope of work is now complete, but still provide a presence on site to assist the customer in finalising the installation actions. Despite testing conditions, the project was delivered in line the the customers expectations and consequently Substation Engineering Services where awarded the Ludlow Project with the same customer.

The site had undergone 2 audits, (one from Atkins, the other from Central Networks) and SES Ltd achieved 96 – 98% in both.
