Jacobs selected by Murphy as partner on Uxbridge Moor construction

Jacobs (J) has been selected by Murphy as the civil design partner on the construction of Uxbridge Moor, a new substation in west London. The multimillion-pound contract from National Grid Electricity Transmission will see the construction of a new substation at Uxbridge Moor, which borders NGET’s existing Iver substation in Buckinghamshire. The facility will connect new customers to the electricity network and help to meet the significant increase in demand for electricity to the west of London. Project scope includes construction of a new 400kV substation, a new 132kV substation, ancillary facilities, underground cabling and associated modification works to the 400kV overhead line network to the new 400kV substation. Connection to the new 132kV substation will be via 132kV underground cables.
