Specialising in both green‐field and brown‐field projects, we have successfully delivered over 100 HV substations nationwide. As the country's most experienced contractor in Balance of Plant (BoP) services, we have connected more wind farms and battery storage systems (BESS) to the grid than any other provider. Our one‐stop‐shop approach covering design, civil, manufacturing, electrical works, grid connection, and commissioning ensures seamless project delivery.
