aBOUT OCL 

OCL Group was established over a decade ago with the vision of creating a company able to carry out high quality and fast 

track work within our operational markets, that would constantly be delivered by the same, loyal, motivated and collaborative 

work force; rather than a mixture of fair-weather engineers, managers and non-caring sub-contractors. 

Our company ethos has been to build a successful reputation on repeat business from our regular clients, whilst steadily 

growing new clients at the right pace, without ever diluting quality upon delivery by overstretching capabilities. We understand 

that we are only as good as our last performance - hence we strive constantly to improve and raise standards each time. 

a lot of our steady success has been due to the careful selection of our professional, management staff, tradesman and 

operatives that have been integrated into OCL due to their specialist skills and proven track records of performance. 

Quality and safety are at the forefront along with their attitude and desire to succeed aided by a positive ‘hands on’ 

approach by Directors and Senior Management along the way. 

We have grown steadily with the same core family values that we started with and by building a successful reputation on 

repeat business from regular clients. 

We have worked very hard over the years to achieve this enviable reputation and this has vastly been supported over the 

past few years with the emphasis we have based on building our integrated health, safety and quality systems that operate 

within OCL. Our unique database and training system provides us with streamlined efficiency when it comes to all our complete 

project life cycle data, document control and compliance systems. 

By using this unparalleled database we are able to concentrate much more on sustainability and raising standards hence 

excelling in delivery of client satisfaction rather than spending time substantiating and arranging misplaced or required 

documentation. 

Our primary aim is to continue to provide a personal, reliable, efficient and tailor-made service to our clients whilst 

transparently linking synergy and communication. So much so that we are regularly regarded as a trusted extension 

to our client teams, whilst at the same time understanding ultimate client and stakeholder etiquette. 

We really are big enough to cope, but small and principled enough to care. 

THE JOURNEY SO FaR 

OCL has come a long way in the past ten years; steadily and organically expanding by diversifying its activities in line with its 

management and commercial capabilities. 

We have respectfully (due to progress and growth) relocated a few times from our original humble home of the Directors 

one bedroom flat in Leigh on Sea to where we operate from now at our large established multi offices and storage yard 

situated in Rochford next to the modern and ever growing Southend airport. 

We have expanded exactly in line with our original business plan and growth forecast, carried out at the beginning of our 

journey and have been diligent in ensuring we do not grow too fast, just as we have been in ensuring all our original 

planned commercial and quality targets are met. 

We have never been in a rush to fail so instead we simply take time to succeed. 

We have expanded our existing services exactly in line with obtaining all the desired and required industry accreditations 

and we now have the complete full set of market leading accreditations and professional body memberships to continue 

growth as predicted. 

a testament to the collaborative hard work we have put in over the years is the evidence of achieving the highest accolades 

and accreditations respectfully picking up five stars in our achilles RiSQS audit for the past two years along with UkaS 

accredited iSO 9001, 18001, 14001, NiCEiC, Construction Line, Safe contractor and CHaS accreditation, plus The Mayor 

of London’s Fleet operating recognition scheme approval FORS. 

Our average workforce has grown tenfold since we started with a team of ten core operatives in 2007 to now up to 80-90 

men working at any one time across the divisions within OCL. Our core management team has also grown at the same ratio 

(please refer to our organisation chart on page 6.) 

We are unique in which we operate four successful divisions within OCL. We self-deliver all of our projects rather than just 

say we do. We have fully experienced committed and motivated staff with the capability throughout the whole project 

lifecycles, from estimating and surveying to operational delivery, experienced project management, handover of maid and 

O&M documentations required in each discipline. 

Each one of our division complements the other and with the core men and tradesmen being the same core men that we 

have maintained since our formation, we have the seamless ability to have the right staff, who understand each others 

requirements. Thus in turn minimising any integrational trade clashes or handover issues. 

During our progression as a company we fully recognise the journey that our operatives take with us, and those that 

continue to progress are fully rewarded with our learn to earn scheme which encourages employees and regular contractors 

to continue their personal journey throughout their careers at OCL. 

With infrastructure rules and standards constantly evolving we place all our operatives on regular knowledge tests that are 

built into our OCL training hub and linked directly to the client projects and infrastructure requirements. This concludes with 

many standards and iTP's being comprehensively understood by all OCL operatives prior to the projects taking place. 

Rather than just management having to feed knowledge down the line, all of our operatives are encouraged to read and 

understand all associated project documentation including method statements, RaMS, SSOW task briefs and any other HSE 

requirements and are compulsory for each operative associated with the project at OCL pre-project start up Stage. 

We hope that the effort and determination we put into our collaboration with clients and our work force will provide the 

sustainability required to continue in exactly the same fashion. Therefore allowing synergy for our clients and workforce to 

grow and prosper with us. 

OCL very much look forward to the bright successful future ahead and hope that we can continue to deliver your projects to 

your expectations and beyond.

James Cooper - Founder / Director 

OCL was set up over a decade ago due to an evident demand within the industry for a reliable, quality and safe contractor. 

From the date of our inception we have built a solid company structure around a core loyal workforce. Over 10 years 

later I am extremely proud to say that OCL has managed to continue do exactly this. Evolving progressively with even 

greater capabilities whilst keeping all our values constant. We still have all the same team in the field that we started 

with and they remain motivated and excited as ever to continue with the growth journey. I believe by taking our time 

with these foundations including our system integration and development when it is very easy to move too fast that this 

has afforded everyone involved to move with us at the exact pace required. I eagerly look forward to the new 

challenges and continued growth over the coming years and belive we have a good determined, well balanced team 

that will continue to “raise the standards” and successfully fulfill our client requirement.

PROJECT 

Warren Street Sub Mains 

CLIENT 

LU - Vinci - Giffen 

OCL were the chosen suppler to provide between 50 – 60 qualified electricians and mates to assist the principal contractor on 

this project including regular full weekend station closure’s incorporated. This formed part of the ongoing investment by London 

Underground in upgrading the Tube Network including a complete enhanced refurbishment of Warren Street Station. 

Upon completion of all the required cable containment route, associated core holes and Civils work, OCL were contracted as the 

specialist cable installation contractor to install all electrical sub-mains cables within the contract time scales, whilst ensuring the 

minimum amount of disruption to the general public who use the station. 

The majority of this work was carried out during engineering hours and a number of planned weekend station closures. However, 

careful planning was required to maximise the working hours available with the length and size of the cables being installed 

taken into account. Due to the many different areas of the station to be accessed by the install team, many of these works 

incorporated bespoke high level cantilever access towers being used on the stations staircases and elevators along with carrying 

out all required confined space works. 

All installs undertook vigorous NOWRI inspections and the works carried out by OCL were successfully completed on time and to 

budget. 

BREAKDOWN OF WORKS CARRIED OUT BY OCL: 

• Plan, design, and produce drawings of cable routes and intersections eliminating any crossovers or radius non-conformities 

• Plan and schedule call offs for cable installs around station closures and working hours 

• Complete Installation of uninterruptible power supply cables 

• Installation of approx. 3000m of all sub-main cables ranging from 10mm 3-core to large 300mm 4-core SWA 

• Lighting cables in public and client areas

CLIENT 

Upminster Depot DC Upgrade LU/Giffen 

OCL were tasked to install the new post, concrete troughing and under track duct routes within the depot and then install new sub station 

feeds to reinforce the DC track feeder cables. This formed part of the 4LM project (then SUP) DC upgrade work. This was carried out during 

various depot possessions including traffic hours and weekend working shifts. The CRMS routes ran from the sub station to all ends of 

the depot and the 935mm DC cables were installed in up to 200m lengths to minimise the requirement for any cable joints. These cables 

were delivered on cable trailers and then pulled out across the depot in loops and dressed onto the new CRMS. The MAID documentation 

was provided and NOWRIs completed prior to commissioning of the cables. OCL also assisted in the commissioning of the cables and the 

decommissioning and removal of the old cabling. The changeovers were carried out with teams terminating cables in the sub station and 

at the same time terminating the cables onto the track.

CLIENT 

LU - Giffen 

In support of the SSL Upgrade Capability Enhancement Programme (CEP) re-signalling Phase 1A works, the LVAC Power Upgrade Project 

was required to provide diverse power supplies to facilitate the new signalling kiosks being installed to feed the replacement track circuits. 

This involved installing Delivery and installation of new Feeder Pillars and delivery and installation of UPS systems. Delivery of some units 

required the use of hi-ab lorries and Road Rail Vehicles (RRV’s). Installation of power cable supplies, one supply cable fed from the nearest 

sub-station with the other supply fed from the adjoining station switch-room. Testing & commissioning of system in liaison with the client 

and the signalling contractor to provide confirmation that the system would operate as required. 

OCL were tasked to provide supervision plus up to 10 CRMS installation teams to drive the installation on this project. This formed part 

of the original CRMS route install programmes carried out by the 4LM project (then SUP). The design at the time was incomplete and 

OCL assisted in identifying and proposing buildable solutions for the cable transitions keeping the bending radius of the cable in mind at 

all times. This was carried out while maintaining the post and hanger route meterage on a nightly basis in a location with a very limited 

engineering shift length. To assist with this short night shift OCL identified and carried out as much of the work as possible during traffic 

hours. Surveying and identifying access points to the railway and bulk delivering and loading out materials wherever possible. All installs 

undertook vigorous NOWRI inspections and the works carried out by OCL were successfully completed on time and to budget.

HEaLTH aND SaFETY 

Safety, health, environment and quality (SHEQ) is at the heart of all our operations. it is easy to say, but we really do mean 

it and we do our utmost to live up to the ethos that all our workers should go home safe at the end of every working day. 

Our Managing Director has been a key advocate in proactive health and safety since the company formed. We put paramount 

importance on the health and safety of all OCL personnel, from those who work in the office staff to those who are out 

working on site. 

We have mature management systems in place including policy statements which set out our intentions, supported by our 

procedures and flow charts implementing our intentions and a full range of forms and templates covering all of our operations. 

We hold certifications with CHaS, ConstructionLine, Safe Contractor, RiSQS and FORS. Our SHEQ management systems have 

been accredited to iSO 9001, 14001 and OHSaS 18001 through aCM Cert Ltd for the past three years. We are audited on an 

annual basis by aCM, FORS, achilles and seek to continuously improve our systems. 

We have had no RiDDORs, no enforcement notices and no actions taken against the company in all the years we have been 

operating. We don't rest on our laurels however, we continue to be as proactive as possible in terms of: 

• Communicating health and safety information to our operatives through monthly bulletins and regular toolbox talks; 

• Being visible on site, carrying out site inspections and reporting on good practices as well as non-compliance's; 

• Sharing good practice with operatives and rewarding positive behaviors; 

• Ongoing development of all personnel to ensure we have a good cross section of experience, skills and knowledge; 

• Obtaining feedback from our clients as well as operatives, and taking action where it is required; 

• Encouraging suggestions for improvement from all personnel; 

• Collaborative working with our clients and other contractors to ensure we are all working towards the same common goals. 

We don't just see health and safety as a legal requirement - we see it is a moral obligation. We embrace health and safety 

as a culture within the company and is therefore at the heart of all we do. 

This has been evident and recognised by TFL via OCL projects and the sites worked on by OCL operatives obtaining beacon status. 

The Beacon Site Standard, is contained in 5 interrelated themes, these are: 

• Consideration 

• Environment 

• Cleanliness 

• Safety and Health 

• Management & values

ENviRONMENT SUSTaiNaBiLiTY 

as a forward thinking business we consider the environment and sustainability initially at the bidding 

stage but then continue to review and revise our practices within the project life cycle with the aim of 

implementing further improvements wherever practice. 

More often that not our clients have expectations and their own goals to meet (such as targets for 

waste reduction) so it is important that as a contractor we can offer synergy with those needs. 

This may come from identifying opportunities for sustainability within the built environment or 

providing solutions for waste reduction, such as the reuse of excavation materials or using products 

with a high recycled content. 

We continuously seek new initiatives from the civils, construction and rail industries, keeping up to 

date through on-line media, networking and attending events. By doing this our clients are assured that 

we are offering the best possible service, with both the environment and their budgets in mind. 

Our goal is to deliver packages of work on time, making sure it's right first time and within budget. 

By doing so we will ensure that we are not using more materials or polluting the environment than 

is necessary. 

OCL iN THE COMMUNiTY 

OCL have partnered with leading medical professionals in the fight against cancer. 

Together with Essex Cancer Research we are committed to raising funds and organizing fund raising 

events that will support clinical research for Cancer trials. 

OCL Group has built a professional caring culture from within, that believes and supports the premise 

of giving back to those in need. it’s a culture not only perpetuated by generous contributions made by 

the company but by contributions made by a very large percentage of employees willing to donate 

their time and talents to causes that give back to the same communities we work and live in. 

Every year OCL Group donates a percentage of time and profits to charitable organisations the primary 

being Essex Cancer Research along with our Local NHS hospital whilst also participating in charitable 

sporting events the passion to help those in need and associated with this runs close to all our hearts at 

OCL due to the loss of Tracey Cooper one of our most loved and committed employees recently at the 

age of 36 to cervical cancer. 

We will continue to work hard for this cause at every given opportunity and hope we can assist in helping 

bring awareness and momentum to this cause. 

We have an objective to minimise our carbon emissions and support local communities by employing 

operatives from within the areas that we working. We also encourage operatives to travel by alternative 

means (such as cycling or public transport where possible) rather than driving. We support a number 

of local up and coming sports men and women through sponsorship. We also work in partnership with 

local charities.

QUaLiTY 

Our key goal in terms of quality is to make sure we get it right first time. 

if we fail to do so we are very aware of the impact it can have on the overall project timescales as 

well and the cost implications (both on our side and that of our clients). it can also damage our 

reputation and future relationships with our clients, something we don't take for granted and work 

hard to build. 

in order to achieve our quality objectives we have learnt that the planning of our projects is paramount. 

We have a team of key personnel with a wealth of experience in planning and delivering projects, they 

also come with commercial awareness and are tasked with ensuring SHEQ is embedded in the decision 

making process. 

Just as important are the skills, knowledge and experience of our site managers and operatives. 

We have ongoing skills and knowledge development for all personnel through external providers as 

well as our in house developed 'learn to earn' scheme. 

at the end of each project we conduct a review to identify what went well and what could have been 

done better with the aim of bringing together any insights gained that can be applied on future projects 

to make them even more successful. 

TRaiNiNG & DEvELOPMENT

and reach each their potential, prosper, and where rewards are shared. 

We focus on a broad spectrum of activities for our operatives and staff through initiatives aimed at improved communication, health, 

safety and wellbeing, training and development and employee recognition, developing the OCL Engineers of the Future. 

as a company we recognise the importance of building and maintaining a knowledgeable and skilled workforce to ensure we are able 

to readily resource schemes with talented people who can deliver works of a high quality. 

We invest over 10 % of company profit every year in training our staff and core operatives as to ensure sustainability and growth, this 

constitutes thousands of hours spent on training courses throughout the year. We utilise only approved Construction Skills-accredited 

Training Centres along with the required infrastructure locations to deliver a significant quantity of this training, from our apprenticeships 

to QCFs to CiTB Site Safety to Network rail and LU courses. 

We have also spent a vast amount of time and money on our own internal training hub of which we are extremely proud This unique 

facility enables in-house training courses invigilated by our SHEQ and compliance staff. This is driven passionately by our Managing 

Director and has given operatives the opportunity to be rewarded for their effects in learning. 

Each one of our core team are placed into our training hub system and is then given set target dates to achieve certain knowledge 

exams formulated in the first instance by our projects, SHE and Quality and Project / Construction managers. 

These exams are based around industry standards and BSi standards regarding HSE and installation. Many of our knowledge tests that 

are formulated within our training hub are bespoke to project requirements and are built in alignment with our clients approved 

inspection and test plans iTP.s and system requirement specifications along with setting out health and safety exams based upon 

client and infrastructure HSE planned General inspection forms and criteria. 

We have 20 bespoke exams so far that allow us to implement our skills card encouraging our earn as you learn scheme. 

Our managers panel monitors each and every exam that our operatives are working on, meaning managers can identify areas where 

operatives may be having difficulties. Each operative receives bespoke feedback which will enable them to develop their understanding. 

Certificates are sent out whenever operatives hit their targets, with additional reward via pay increases when all subject modules have 

been completed.
