In the fast-paced world of property development and industrial expansion, the pressure to “get power running” often overshadows the need to ensure that power systems are actually built to last. At Antrum Engineering & Technology (AET), we have seen firsthand how skipping the **Design** phase of our **DIMO** framework (Design, Install, Maintain, Optimise) leads to catastrophic costs down the line.
What is Technical Due Diligence?
Technical Due Diligence (TDD) is a comprehensive audit of a facility’s electrical health. It isn’t just about checking if the lights turn on; it involves deep analysis of load profiles, cable integrity, switchgear capacity, and future scalability. For projects like **Briscoe Earl’s Court**, our advisory role on integrating gas-fired power supply was pivotal in ensuring the system could handle peak loads without failure.
The Risk of “Copy-Paste” Engineering
Many developers rely on generic templates for power reticulation. This leads to undersized cables causing voltage drops, or oversized generators burning fuel inefficiently. Our approach focuses on **Precision Engineering**—tailoring the LVDP (Low Voltage Distribution Panel) and circuitry specifically to the operational needs of the asset.
Conclusion
Investing in a proper technical audit before you build or upgrade is not an expense; it is insurance. It ensures your infrastructure is safe, compliant, and optimized for decades of use.
