More fantastic customer support from our Site Services & Contracting division responding to an urgent call out to a foundry in South Yorkshire early this morning.

Our team of highly experienced SAPs are based at our Sheffield office and offer a wide range of services to owners and operators of #transformer and #switchgear substations, switchrooms, private electrical networks and associated power generation & distribution equipment.

We are saddened to see the devastating flooding in South Yorkshire and surrounding areas, particularly #Sheffield, #Doncaster & #Rotherham.

Our Sheffield and Newcastle teams stand ready to assist businesses who are concerned about damage to their HV power distribution equipment and networks.

This picture is from one of several emergency call outs our Sheffield site services team took overnight to isolate (where safe) HV networks to make site safe – in some cases remotely.
