Scratchwood Quarry

Scratchwood Quarry approached their broker, Energy Cost Advisors (ECA) Group, after they had been experiencing difficulties in getting a power supply installed. The quarry is based in a remote location and had been running solely on generators but needed a permanent power supply to be installed. ECA turned to the expertise of Energy Connection Services (ECS) straight away to assist with the client’s request. The benefit brought by employing ECS was to liaise and negotiate effectively with the key parties involved in the project.

A nearby golf course was initially considered as the suggested route for the point of connection to the quarry, however this was to prove a costly and difficult option because of the disruption caused to the golf course by laying cables.After extensive reviewing, ECS managed to successfully liaise and negotiate with The Highways Agency, to gain access to their depot site in order to provide the connection route.

ECS also managed to deliver major cost reductions in the project by negotiating with the landowner of a lane to reposition the metering point.

ECS handled all of the intricacies of negotiation and planning with The Highways Agency and successfully delivered the project – involving end-to-end 18 months of co-ordination and determination to deliver the customer’s requirements. Both customer and their broker ECA were really impressed with the work done by ECS on this project.

“ECS deliver impressive solution with cost savings along the way”
