Adey Steel has partnered with Kelvin Power Structures on a groundbreaking SmartValve project.
The Loughborough-based steel fabrication specialists were appointed to design, manufacture and deliver SmartValve structures across the National Grid Substation Network to speed up the flow of new renewable energy around the network.
These specific structures, which help to control power flows from overloaded lines to underused lines, were complemented by a series of gantries and support structures.
The flagship project required Adey Steel to fabricate some 300 tonnes of SmartValve structures and 200 tonnes of gantries and supports, all of which had to then be delivered within an extremely tight schedule, to three substations at Harker in Carlisle, Penwortham in Preston, and Salt Holme in Stockton-on-Tees - prior to installation.
