5 Proposed infrastructure<br />
This option utilises reusing the existing abandoned cable from the Broughton house substation and extending it (green<br />
line below) to Saint Marry <strong>Redcliffe</strong> to provide supply for the phase 1 (90kVA).<br />
5.1 Gas<br />
There is an existing gas supply to the site that serves the existing boilers and kitchens. This is to be retained and left<br />
untouched, unless a risk is identified due to construction. In this case it will be diverted to suit the new layout.<br />
5.2 Water<br />
Any existing cold-water supply will be upgraded if required to serve the new development. Currently, there is no water<br />
storage is proposed for the site. This is to be confirmed by the Client.<br />
5.3 Drainage<br />
New drainage connections from the new build extensions will be required.<br />
5.4 Electrical supply<br />
Electrical load assessment<br />
5.4.2.1 Application for new connection for Phase 1 & 2<br />
The electrical load assessment has been carried out with the support of the design team and the Client to determine the<br />
electrical load profile of the new buildings.<br />
The developed design calculations indicate that the new buildings could use in region of 220kVA including 10% spare<br />
capacity for future.<br />
An application was made to WPD for the new supply, reference number 3478246. Consequently, QODA met with WPD<br />
on site to discuss various supply options including re-using spare capacity on the existing incomers.<br />
WPD confirmed that there is no spare capacity in the area at Low Voltage which would mean a new HV/LV substation will<br />
need to be provided. The budget cost for this is £52,800 as identified by WPD.<br />
5.4.2.2 Application for new connection at Low Voltage for Phase 1 only<br />
This load can be split between the two significant project phases into South and North and are 130kVA for South and<br />
90kVA for North. Splitting the load into the two phases gives more advantage as it could be possible to supply the smaller<br />
90kVA load without a substation with anticipation that when the phase 2 goes ahead there will be more inbuilt capacity<br />
in the WPD network for the phase 2 to avoid substation. If the substation has to be provided then it would be provided<br />
only for the phase 2.<br />
More research has been done in co-operation with WPD to establish the feasibility of supplying phase 1 at low voltage.<br />
The following possible option has been identified and is currently being reviewed by WPD (22/11/2019).<br />
Temporary solution<br />
The Phase 1 Low voltage supply option is currently being reviewed by WPD. At present the agreed solution is to allow for<br />
space for the new 500kVA substation in the location of the phase 2 project with the possibility to build the substation<br />
during phase 1 if there is no other way. E.g. if the option 2 low voltage supply doesn’t become possible.<br />
5.5 Telecommunications<br />
The current proposal is to relocate the existing patch cabinet into the new Vestry back office and redirect all existing<br />
services into this new location. The services will include Fibre optic cable, copper data cables and security services. At<br />
present it is not envisaged that a new telecommunication services will be required.<br />
