Procure Direct was appointed by Apogee Lincoln to design and deliver a commercial electrical installation that would support the company’s sustainability objectives and growing use of electric-powered vehicles and equipment.
As more organisations transition towards electric vehicles and low-carbon operations, workplace charging infrastructure has become an increasingly important investment. Apogee wanted to provide EV charging facilities for its operational equipment, employees, and visitors while ensuring the installation remained safe, compliant, and capable of supporting future demand.
As experienced commercial electrical contractors in Lincolnshire, Procure Direct managed the project from initial assessment through to installation, testing, and certification.
Client: Apogee Lincoln
Location: Lincoln, Lincolnshire
Service Type: Commercial electrical installation
Project: EV charging infrastructure installation
Objective: Provide EV charging facilities for loading equipment, employees, and visitors
Key Works Completed:
Special Considerations:
Installing EV charging points requires careful planning and specialist electrical expertise. Unlike many standard electrical installations, EV charging infrastructure places a continuous demand on a building’s electrical supply and must be designed to operate safely under sustained load conditions.
Before any installation could take place, it was essential to determine whether the site’s existing electrical infrastructure could support the additional demand without affecting other operational systems.
The project also required strict adherence to site-specific health and safety procedures throughout all stages of the work. Careful coordination was needed to ensure the installation could be completed efficiently while maintaining a safe working environment.
In addition to meeting the client’s immediate requirements, the solution needed to provide flexibility for future expansion as electric vehicle adoption continues to increase across both commercial fleets and private vehicle ownership.
Every successful commercial electrical installation begins with a thorough understanding of the site’s existing infrastructure.
Procure Direct carried out a detailed electrical survey to assess the condition and capacity of the existing distribution boards, electrical supply, and associated systems. This assessment allowed our engineers to evaluate available capacity, identify any potential limitations, and determine the most suitable approach for the installation.
Particular attention was given to electrical load calculations and circuit capacity. EV chargers require dedicated circuits to prevent excessive demand being placed on existing electrical systems, making it essential to verify that sufficient power was available before installation could proceed.
The survey also identified the most practical charging locations, cable routes, and equipment positions to maximise accessibility while minimising disruption to the site.
By carrying out a comprehensive assessment at the planning stage, we were able to design an efficient solution that would support both current requirements and future growth.
Following completion of the survey, Procure Direct designed a bespoke EV charging solution tailored to Apogee’s operational requirements.
The system was designed to provide safe, reliable charging facilities while integrating seamlessly with the existing electrical installation.
As part of the design process, our engineers specified:
The design was developed in accordance with current electrical regulations and industry best practices, ensuring long-term reliability and compliance.
Once the design had been approved, our electrical installation team completed the installation of the new EV charging infrastructure.
Works included:
Throughout the project, strict health and safety procedures were followed to protect site personnel and ensure all work was completed safely.
As a trusted electrical installation company serving Lincoln and Lincolnshire, Procure Direct coordinated all aspects of the project to ensure efficient delivery and minimal disruption to the client’s operations.
Testing and certification are critical stages of any commercial electrical installation.
Upon completion of the works, our engineers carried out comprehensive inspection and testing procedures to verify the safety, performance, and compliance of the new installation.
Testing included:
Only once all testing had been successfully completed was the installation certified and formally handed over to the client.
This process provided Apogee with complete confidence that the charging infrastructure was operating safely and performing as intended.
The demand for workplace EV charging continues to grow as businesses invest in sustainable transport solutions and electric vehicle adoption increases across the UK.
Providing charging facilities offers several advantages for commercial organisations. It supports employees who drive electric vehicles, improves convenience for visitors, and helps businesses prepare for future fleet electrification.
For many organisations, EV charging infrastructure also forms part of wider environmental and sustainability strategies, helping reduce carbon emissions and demonstrate a commitment to responsible business practices.
By investing in charging infrastructure today, businesses can future-proof their facilities while creating a practical benefit for employees, customers, and visitors.
The completed installation provides Apogee with a reliable, future-ready EV charging solution that supports both operational requirements and long-term sustainability goals.
The new infrastructure enables the business to accommodate electric-powered equipment and vehicles while providing convenient charging facilities for staff and visitors.
Benefits delivered through the project include:
By combining detailed planning, technical expertise, and rigorous testing procedures, Procure Direct delivered a commercial electrical installation that supports Apogee’s environmental objectives while preparing the business for the continued growth of electric vehicle technology.
A commercial electrical installation typically includes site surveys, system design, electrical infrastructure upgrades, equipment installation, testing, inspection, and certification. The process ensures electrical systems operate safely, efficiently, and in compliance with current regulations.
Yes. EV charging points require dedicated electrical circuits to safely manage the continuous electrical load created during charging. This helps protect existing electrical systems and ensures reliable operation.
Commercial electrical contractors assess distribution boards, incoming power supplies, current electrical demand, and available capacity before recommending a suitable installation. This ensures the electrical system can safely support additional equipment.
Yes. All commercial electrical installations should undergo inspection, testing, and certification before being placed into service. This verifies compliance with current electrical regulations and confirms the installation is safe to operate.
In most cases, yes. Charging systems can often be designed with future expansion in mind, allowing additional charging points to be added as demand increases.
EV charging infrastructure supports employees, visitors, and company vehicles while helping organisations meet sustainability objectives. As electric vehicle adoption continues to increase, many businesses are investing in charging facilities to future-proof their premises.
Procure Direct provides commercial electrical installations, EV charging infrastructure, electrical maintenance services, testing, inspection, and specialist electrical contractor services throughout Lincoln, Lincolnshire, and across the UK.
Whether you require new electrical installations, infrastructure upgrades, or specialist commercial electrical support, our experienced team can deliver safe, compliant, and reliable solutions tailored to your business.
