Project Overview
Heavy Plant Electrification Infrastructure at Holcim Greenwich
At Holcim’s Greenwich facility, KRA Brown delivered the dedicated electrical infrastructure required to bring high-demand charging for electric loading shovels into routine operational use.
The electrification of heavy mobile equipment represents a major opportunity for the mineral products sector to reduce operational carbon emissions and lessen its reliance on diesel-powered plant. However, successful implementation requires considerably more than conventional EV charging equipment.
The Greenwich installation required site-specific industrial electrical engineering, appropriate power capacity, robust distribution infrastructure and careful integration with the facility’s existing electrical network. Every element had to reflect the operational, environmental and safety demands of active mineral production.
KRA Brown’s scope incorporated the associated electrical design, distribution equipment, cabling, protective systems, installation, testing and commissioning needed to place the Greenwich charging infrastructure into service as a complete operational system.
Delivery was coordinated around continuing production, heavy vehicle routes and mobile plant movements across the Greenwich 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 required to charge electric loading shovels used in the routine movement of primary and secondary materials throughout the Greenwich production process.
Beyond the immediate installation, the Greenwich 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.
