One thing to seriously consider when undertaking a green-fields development is whether EV charging infrastructure is going to be required now or in the future. When laying carpark and footpath pavement, having made allowance for future installations is a must.

 

Including EVC-PEDESTAL-PITs during planning will mean in the future an electrician can simply run cable in the existing duct and terminate to a pedestal that bolts into place without additional preparation work saving precious time, money and more important to some - the need to open and reinstate pavement already in place.

 

EVC-PEDESTAL-PIT is essentially a pre-installed base for a pedestal to fasten to as well as a placeholder and duct termination point. A draw wire in the duct allows for cable to be pulled at a later date. This option gives the flexibility to quickly and easily install EV charging infrastructure without a costly retrofit.

 

The pit is safe for pedestrians to walk on without risk of injury. It has been tested to comply with BS5834 part2 (pavement loading), and is secure with access using security key.
