Project Overview
Industrial EV Charging Infrastructure at Holcim Crawley
At Holcim’s Crawley facility, KRA Brown delivered the dedicated electrical infrastructure required to bring high-demand charging for electric loading shovels into daily operational use.
Electrifying heavy mobile equipment gives mineral-products operators a practical route towards lower operational emissions and reduced diesel dependence. At Crawley, however, the charging installation had to function as part of an active industrial electrical network rather than as a conventional commercial EV charging system.
The Crawley scheme therefore required site-specific industrial electrical engineering, appropriate power capacity, robust distribution infrastructure and careful integration with the site’s existing electrical systems. The solution also had to reflect the environmental, safety and operational demands of live mineral production.
KRA Brown’s scope incorporated the associated electrical design, distribution equipment, cabling, protective systems, installation, testing and commissioning needed to place the charging equipment into service as a complete operational system.
Delivery was coordinated around continuing production, heavy vehicle routes and mobile plant movements at the Crawley site. Close collaboration with Holcim’s operational teams allowed the work to progress while maintaining the controls required within a live industrial environment.
The completed infrastructure provides the dependable electrical capacity needed to charge electric loading shovels used in the routine movement of primary and secondary materials across the facility.
Beyond the immediate installation, the Crawley project establishes a scalable electrical foundation for further electric equipment, extending the long-term value of Holcim’s investment in lower-carbon mobile plant and site decarbonisation.
