Electrical Infrastructure Inspection & Upgrade
Europoint Centre (London Ltd) | Europoint House
Project Environment
Europoint House is a large commercial office facility spanning approximately 100,000 square feet and accommodating a number of high-profile organisations. Reliable electrical infrastructure within the building is essential to support tenant operations, communications, and day-to-day business activities.
The building is home to several well-known organisations, including King’s College London and Mace Group, meaning the project required a professional and carefully managed approach to installation works.
As the building remained fully operational throughout the project, all inspection and upgrade works had to be carefully coordinated with building management and tenant representatives to minimise disruption while maintaining a safe working environment.
Installation Approach
All works were carefully planned and scheduled to ensure minimal disruption to building occupants.
Engineers worked closely with building management teams and tenant representatives to coordinate access, plan inspection activities, and deliver remedial works efficiently within an active commercial environment.
A flexible installation approach allowed work to be carried out in phases, ensuring that critical tenant operations could continue uninterrupted while the electrical infrastructure improvements were implemented.
Scope of Work
The project involved a comprehensive electrical inspection and remedial upgrade programme across the entire 100,000 sq ft multi-tenant commercial building.
A full Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) was conducted across the building’s electrical infrastructure, covering a total of 91 distribution boards.
The inspection assessed the condition, safety, and regulatory compliance of the electrical installation in accordance with current electrical regulations and industry best practice.
Thermal imaging surveys were carried out on all distribution boards throughout the facility.
This process enabled engineers to identify potential issues such as:
Overheating components
Loose or deteriorating connections
Abnormal load conditions
Detecting these risks early allowed preventative action to be taken before faults could develop into larger system failures.
To support accurate documentation of the building’s electrical infrastructure, engineers undertook detailed tracing of all submain circuits throughout the facility.
This process enabled the production of a comprehensive electrical schematic drawing, providing a clear representation of the building’s electrical distribution network.
The resulting documentation significantly improves:
Future maintenance planning
Fault identification and troubleshooting
Overall infrastructure management
Following the inspection phase, a programme of remedial works and infrastructure upgrades was implemented to address issues identified during the EICR process.
This included the upgrade of 42 distribution boards, alongside additional remedial works required to bring the electrical installation in line with current safety standards and improve system reliability.
All works were carried out in accordance with current electrical regulations while maintaining safe operation within the live commercial environment.
Project Outcome
The completed project delivered a fully assessed and improved electrical infrastructure across Europoint House, ensuring the building’s electrical systems meet current safety and compliance standards.
Key project highlights:
91 distribution boards inspected
Full EICR completed across the facility
Thermal imaging surveys conducted on all boards
Submain circuits traced and electrical schematic produced
42 distribution boards upgraded
Remedial works completed to improve system safety and reliability
All works were successfully delivered within an active multi-tenant commercial environment, ensuring that tenant operations continued with minimal disruption while critical infrastructure improvements were completed.
