Plant Installation & Handling Projects

Linklaters, London

Radius Group successfully executed the replacement of a redundant 6.30te Cast Resin transformer for RJ Power at Linklaters in Silk Street, London.

Balfour Transformer Delivery

Managing the entire process of delivering and installing two new 30te 16 MVA, 22/11kV transformers for the Northern Line power upgrade project in a challenging location in central London was no small feat.

East Langton, Leicestershire

Radius Group played a pivotal role – supporting SPL Powerlines – in the successful delivery of the largest ASG25 Substation in the UK to its site, Wigston MPATS.

Thank you to the Radius equipment delivery team, who while undertaking the delivery of the 5 tonne transformers and HV switchgear at Whitechapel, demonstrated a number of the crossrail values. Firstly, was safety, the team successfully carried out each lift and manoeuvre with the proper planning. Nothing was left to chance.
