The project is being undertaken for Western Power Distribution and will help to reinforce the supply to two existing major substations, Nottingham East and Nottingham North. It will also provide a new supply from the 132kV substation at Stoke Bardolph.
Morgan Sindall Professional Services  has been appointed to carry out the electrical and civils design on the project. The design team has devised a solution which will minimise disruption to the general public while the works are taking place.
The work will start on site in March 2012 and is scheduled for completion in December 2013.
The project is part of the three-year fluid filled cable replacement programme framework to which Morgan Sindall was appointed in October 2010.
