Challenges and Solutions
-
Diverse Installation Site Conditions
Some parking venues were located in old existing buildings and the power capacity of the electrical supply was insufficient for adopting EV charging infrastructure, along with many other site difficulties such as aging electrical equipment. We leveraged our strong background in the electrical industry to extensively study the building’s electrical system and electricity consumption behaviour, in order to advise a technically feasible way for installing EV charging facilities.
-
Minimising Impact During Installation
Electrical power supply must be switched off for safe EV charging infrastructure installation. To minimise the impact on daily operations of the carpark & tenants, we carefully coordinated with different parties involved in the installation work and arranged the installation, test and commissioning process during off-peak times.
