SDE Electrical, in collaboration with the SDE Group, was engaged by Gridserve to deliver a full-service EV charging installation adjacent to Aldi in Lincoln. This project involved early-stage feasibility planning, full design development, and complete installation of a new ultra-rapid charging bay featuring six ABB 184kW chargers.
The system is powered by a newly installed Sub Station and a 2500A free-standing LV feeder pillar, both supplied and installed by SDE Electrical and SDE Group. The site now offers a robust, high-capacity charging solution to support the growing demand for electric vehicles in the region.
Scope of Works Delivered
SDE Electrical was responsible for the end-to-end delivery of the electrical infrastructure, covering:
Design & Installation:
- Engineering and installation of a 2500Amp feeder pillar to support six high-powered chargers
- Supply and installation of 6 × ABB 184kW EV charging posts
- Laying and terminating 185mm² HO7 cabling from the LV feeder pillar to each charger cabinet
Data & Control Systems:
- Installation of Cat 6 data cabling between each charger post and the SCADA comms cabinet
- Installation of 4-core SWA cabling for tilt sensor connections between the comms cabinet and each charger
- Full installation and connection of the SCADA communications panel, enabling remote monitoring and control
Testing & Commissioning:
- Electrical testing and inspection of all installed cables, equipment, and interface
- Final commissioning of all six ABB car chargers, ensuring full functionality and compliance with Gridserve’s performance standards
The Lincoln Aldi car park now hosts a fully operational, high-powered EV charging bay, delivering rapid charging capability in a convenient retail location. The installation supports Gridserve’s mission to expand the UK’s EV charging network with reliable, future-proof infrastructure.
SDE Electrical's end-to-end management from design through to final commissioning ensured the project was delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest technical and safety standards. Our continued collaboration with Gridserve highlights our expertise in delivering complex EV infrastructure with precision, efficiency, and sustainability in mind.
