Overhead Line Security Project with Balfour Beatty

Overhead Line Security Project with Balfour Beatty

Lingwood Security Management are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a new contract with Balfour Beatty Power Transmission and Distribution.

Our specific responsibility is to provide security for the £214 million Hinkley Point C overhead line contract for Balfour Beatty, who are contracted by National Grid. The security cover will include static security officers, mobile supervisors and site access control.

During the mobilisation process, we are working closely with our team on-site to ensure they are fully trained, inducted and aware of the patrol routes etc. before the site ramps up.

Due to COVID-19, we are also putting additional measures in place to keep staff and clients safe, by following Government guidelines. We are working closely with the client to ensure these measures are kept up-to-date and reflect the constantly changing situation with regard to the outbreak.

Speaking following the news of the contract, Alan Lingwood, Managing Director, said: “We are delighted to be working with Balfour Beatty once again on what is a very high profile project nationally. Our team worked hard on the central part of this project, and as a result, we are now involved in the next phase, which is a credit to all involved. There is no doubt that this project will create additional job opportunities, which given the uncertainty of the economy and the lack of job security in some sectors at the moment, is something we are very proud of.”

Existing Contract

We are already providing security services on the central part of this project (Mendips 400KVA) and were awarded the next stage of the project due to our performance to date. The contract was awarded following site meetings with the overhead line team.

Our security operatives provide the access control to the main compound for this project, which includes all clients, contractors and suppliers access.

About the Project

Awarded through National Grid’s Overhead Line Design and Build Framework, the contract forms a critical part of the Hinkley Point C (HPC) connection scheme, linking the new nuclear reactor to the national grid.

As part of the contract, Balfour Beatty will design, supply, install, test and commission a new overhead line spanning 48.4km and crossing through the Mendip Hills in Somerset. On completion, the new line will connect HPC with a new substation in Avonmouth, Bristol. Works are due to commence this month, with completion expected in summer 2025.

Thank you for helping out at Carlisle Kingmoor HOOB a couple of weeks ago when the gates failed – really good prompt service!

The guards are always on time, polite and carry out their duties to a high standard, even leaving the cabins mopped and sanitized to keep our site working. We have frequent visits by the company management and a good line of commutation with Summer. I will definitely be using Lingwood Security again and have recommended them to my colleagues.

First off may I express my satisfaction with the excellent work the cleaners have done at Stonepit quarry. The areas they cleaned are sparkling and they have put in a good shift. The second thing I’d like to express is our happiness with the daytime security guard we have had this week. The guy has performed very well indeed and deserves praise as such.

The security guard turned up in plenty of time, and he was really helpful and looked after our site for us well. The festival went really well. Even though we all got soaked at the end when we were packing up.

I am the Site SHEQ Manager for the National Grid House in Warwick where we have your Guards on site. I would just like to say that we have had a very positive experience with your guards and will be looking to employ them on future sites should there be a requirement. Two Guards in particular have been extremely helpful and carried out their duties with tenacity and followed company procedures to the letter. I must add that these two guards are a credit to Lingwood and promote a very positive image of the level of service that your company provides. I would therefore seek to hire these guys again should the opportunity arise.
