Our services
VolkerSmart Technologies has been delivering electrical connections across the UK distribution network for many years. Leveraging our extensive experience in street lighting maintenance, we offer complete turnkey electrical infrastructure solutions, providing a seamless service from design through to delivery.
Local highway authorities
Our Independent Connection Provider service complements our established street lighting offering, enabling local highway authorities to benefit from a single provider for both electrical infrastructure maintenance and Low and High Voltage connections. This integrated approach simplifies project delivery, improves coordination and ensures works are carried out safely, efficiently and in accordance with industry standards.
The team are fully equipped with the requirements of working within the public highway, including permitting, traffic management, reinstatement standards, and regulatory compliance. Through collaborative planning and proactive stakeholder engagement, we help streamline the connection process while minimising disruption to road users and local communities.
National Highways
As a NERS-accredited Independent Connection Provider (ICP), we deliver Low Voltage and High Voltage electrical connection solutions for National Highways schemes and associated roadside infrastructure.
Our services include new electrical connections, network diversions, cable installations, substations, switchgear, feeder pillars and electrical upgrades to support strategic road improvement projects, tunnels, technology assets, lighting and EV charging infrastructure.
By managing the contestable elements of the electrical network, we help clients reduce reliance on traditional Distribution Network Operator (DNO) delivery timescales, providing greater programme certainty, earlier procurement opportunities and a more efficient route to project completion.
Rail, aviation, flood defence and utilities
We provide specialist Low Voltage and High Voltage electrical connection services across critical infrastructure sectors where resilience, safety and continuity of operation are paramount. From rail depots and station upgrades to airports, flood defence assets and utility facilities, our experienced teams design, install, test and commission electrical infrastructure that supports essential operations.
Working closely with Distribution Network Operators, Independent Distribution Network Operators and asset owners, we deliver reliable connections with minimal disruption to operational environments.
Building and Commercial
Our Independent Connections Provider service support commercial, industrial or residential developments by delivering complete Low Voltage and High Voltage connection solutions from initial design through to adoption by the Distribution Network Operator/Independent Distribution Network Operator.
Whether providing power for distribution centres, logistics hubs, commercial buildings, data-led operations, EV charging facilities or mixed-use developments, we manage the contestable infrastructure works including substations, High Voltage and Low Voltage cable networks, transformer installations, metering and distribution systems.
Early engagement enables us to secure the most efficient connection strategy, reduce programme risk and provide greater control over power delivery timescales.
Other large scale civil engineering
We support major infrastructure and civil engineering projects with scalable Low and High Voltage electrical connection solutions that underpin long-term operational requirements and future growth.
Our in-house expertise covers the design, installation, testing and commissioning of contestable electrical infrastructure, including substations, transformers, switchgear, cable networks and EV charging power systems.
By combining our Independent Connection Provider expertise with our wider extensive civil engineering capability, we provide a fully integrated approach that delivers electrical infrastructure safely, efficiently and in line with demanding project programmes.
