Exothermic welding contractors?

Leesparkykent · Oct 6, 2017

Can anyone recommend a company? Have a new substation going in and got to supply the earthing nest for UKPN. Jobs simple enough.....120mm bare conductor around the perimiter with multiple rod positions to 2.4 meters, connections to rebar etc all back to a earth marshalling terminal. Only thing is I need a contractor experienced in exothermic welding/bonding....Can any one help?

You can use approved bolted connections but it just doesn't sit right with me.

Can’t you pinch one of those kits from Network Rail that the use to join the rails? They look like a bit of fun!

Hi Lee, I can help. The company I work for have all the exothermic welding kit. We install new substations and look after the O+M of several 33kv/11Kv solar park substations. We are also NERS affiliated, what area of the country is the job?
