Overview
Case Study: Delivering MV Switchgear & Critical Power Systems for CTS Nordics
Kempston Controls Ireland supplied key medium-voltage (MV) and critical power components for a CTS Nordics project, delivered in partnership with Precision Switchgear. The scope included MV switchgear assemblies, protection relays, and battery tripping systems supporting a high-specification electrical infrastructure environment.
Scope of Supply
MV Switchgear
Supplying MV Switchgear (Xiria NGX units).
Documentation
Supporting system documentation and compliance certification.
system protection
Providing Protection relays supplied by Siemens.
Batteries
110V DC battery tripping units with 8-hour autonomy.
Project Considerations
End-to-End project co-ordination
The project required more than supply alone. With multiple stakeholders, staged equipment delivery, commissioning milestones, and strict compliance expectations, the customer needed a partner who could support the wider project from specification through to handover. This meant coordinating technical information, delivery sequencing, compliance requirements, and close communication across all parties to keep the programme on track.
Challenges
Reliance on third-party manufacturer documentation
Large equipment requiring staged delivery
Late-stage compliance document requests
Kempston Power Approach
Kempston Controls supported the project through the full delivery process, working alongside Precision Switchgear and the wider project team to coordinate product supply, technical submittal, compliance requirements, staged deliveries, and final handover information. By managing key interfaces throughout the programme, we helped ensure the right equipment, information, and support were available at each stage to maintain progress and meet the customer’s expectations.
Outcome & Value
- Successful coordination across supply, technical, and compliance activities
- Project milestones supported through staged delivery and responsive communication
- Smooth progression toward commissioning and handover
- Strong collaboration maintained across all stakeholders
Key Takeaway
This project highlights Kempston Controls' ability to support complex MV projects beyond product supply, helping customers manage technical coordination, compliance, delivery planning, and stakeholder alignment across the full project lifecycle.
