Cable Installations & Primary Substation

The Thetford Cable Route & Civil’s Build project entailed the excavation of a cable route spanning 6 km, comprising dual 33KV Circuits and fibre optic infrastructure. This route extends from UK Power Networks Barnham Sub station to the Kingsfleet development site, positioned adjacent to A1075 Norwich Road just before the A11 junction. The project presented numerous logistical complexities, including the coordination of intricate connections such as the integration with a Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) beneath a local river, spanning 9 meters in length and depth. Meticulous planning, engineering expertise, and close collaboration with stakeholders where essential to overcoming these challenges. The project aims where to enhance regional power infrastructure, supporting the energy needs of the Kingsfleet development and fostering sustainable growth in the Thetford area.
