Why this procedure was chosen
The requirement involves bespoke lifting and installation of 3 high value electrical transformers in a constrained Central London environment with restricted access, live network risks, Grade 2 listed building and complex interfaces (highways, permits, traffic management, confined spaces). Market analysis confirms that only a limited number of suppliers possess: • Integrated heavy-lift engineering capability (crane + skidding + jacking) • Demonstrable experience delivering transformer installations in central London • Full compliance with LOLER and BS7121 including appointed person-led lift design • UKPN authorisation and interface with The Wilson Transformer Company (OEM of ordered Transformers).
