Taunton HOOB
Electrical infrastructure upgrades at GWR’s High Output Operations Base, Taunton, delivering a resilient and compliant power distribution system to support future growth and operational efficiency.
SDS were engaged by Sisk Rail to undertake the detailed design of electrical infrastructure upgrades at its High Output Operations Base (HOOB) in Taunton. The project supported continued growth and operational expansion while modernising the existing electrical distribution network to meet current standards. The design scope included sub-distribution to multiple buildings, such as mess rooms, workshops, offices, toilet blocks, and storage cabins. SDS’s involvement ensured a coordinated, future-ready, and cost-effective solution that improved resilience, safety, and maintainability across the site.
