Case Study

LV Panel Board Upgrade & Furnace Installation

Renowned glass manufacturer, Clayton Glass reached out to our team to assist with the upgrade of the electrical infrastructure supporting the installation of a new furnace. To begin, our engineers conducted a site survey to understand the current infrastructure and supply available to power the furnace. Once the site had been assessed, our specialists advised what was required to get it up to standard and drafted a new design, outlying the containments that would feed the furnace. Once agreed, Ben Wood Group installed the LV panel board alongside supporting equipment and tested it to ensure it was ready for use.
