High Voltage for Pinewood Studios

A case study about our expertise at work in the Media and Entertainment sector


Power Management Design and Build was asked by Andy West Associates on behalf of Pinewood Studios to provide an 11KV network and switchgear specification and design. 

Having invested several million pounds in a new 10MVA connection Pinewood needed a design for an 11kV distribution system for the entire Pinewood Studios site.

We specified a new 11kV switchboard and designed a new 11kV ring main. Previously, Pinewood needed to use their own on-site generator for peak lopping which proved noisy, expensive and operationally impractical. The newly specified switchgear utilised vacuum switches to replace SF6 switches which were not environmentally friendly. 

Our experts worked alongside the AWA electrical engineers to complete a critical project for this world renowned studios where TV and feature films are made, for example James Bond and Star Wars movies amongst others.
