POWER
KTL has more than 25 years’ experience in providing solutions for major electrical infrastructure projects, and is an established leader in delivering civil, structural and electrical engineering resources.
KTL’s project and resource management is second to none, and means we are able to service multiple projects, and operate under restricted timeframes confidently. We have developed bespoke project management governance structures, processes and support systems to ensure delivery to cost, quality and programme goals.
Innovation is always at the forefront of our work, and we are constantly looking to update and upgrade our own processes.
Our web and smartphone-based software app that helps to manage workflow on electricity network assets is just one example of how we are constantly looking for the best new ways to deliver benefits to our clients.
Overhead Power Lines
KTL brings together a wealth of expertise, including design, project management, PSCS and construction experience at voltage levels 400kV through to 11kV, working on both new build and refurbishment of power lines. We operate on the current ESBN OHL and NIE Frameworks and have delivered many complex projects to the clients requirements.
Our clients have included ESBN, ESBWD, ESBT, SSE, SSER, Scottish Power and WPD. KTL’s commitment to innovation in this area is also clear, having incorporated OHLs into our smartphone-based app to help manage workflows. The software uses a combination of mobile devices, creative processes and workflows, and cloud-based software to deliver a more efficient service to our clients.
