CONSTRUCTION SITE SERVICES
Since our inception in 1973 we have been providing temporary power, lighting and
mechanical distribution systems as an enabling function for other trades to complete
their works packages throughout the construction phase of a project.
During this period the products we use and services we provide have obviously moved
on and today a more professional approach in our Industry has assisted us in our
continuing efforts to promote the importance of a well thought out and well-designed
installation.
The benefit of good planning does not always provide the most competitive price
at outset but it will, in most projects, provide best value over the project programme,
improve Health & Safety, reduce utility consumption costs, and reduce carbon emissions.
We can provide a combination of design, supply, installation, maintenance, testing,
and final removal of the system against the following packages:
• 11Kv HV Installations
• Incoming Services and LV Distribution
• 415/110volt Power
• Hot & Cold Water Installations
• UPS Installations
• Lightning Protection
• Emergency Lighting
• Data
• Heating & Ventilation
• CCTV
• Fire Alarms
• Containment
• Generators
• Earthing & Bonding
• General Lighting
• Drainage
Our Contracts Managers, Supervisors, Foremen and Operatives hold current CSCS
certification, are JIB/SJIB graded and qualified within their own discipline.
We have operational depots in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester and
Leeds. Our Glasgow office is the central hub location for the Northern depots and
supports each one for all Wingate Plant requirements from their comprehensive
workshop facilities and skilled team.
9
We have further depots in Birmingham, Basingstoke, Heathrow and London Waterloo. In
the South our central location for Plant is Basingstoke where the workshop facilities are
similar to Glasgow but more extensive in Plant and Operative volume.
Each office has its own management structure to support in-house Design, Operational
and Commercial activities and the Depot Manager reports directly to Richard
Cummins who is a Main Board Director.
Central support facilities are provided at Head Office in Basingstoke for Health & Safety,
Sustainability and Environment, Supply Chain Approval, Human Resources, Marketing
and Finance.
We have a significant fleet of Electrical & Mechanical plant of over £5M in value.
Electrical: HV Transformers, Mains Distribution Assemblies, Sub Mains Distribution
Assemblies, 415 volt Transformers, Welding Outlet Units, Earth Leakage Protection
units, Evacuation Alarm Systems , 110 volt Distribution Boxes, LED Lighting, Fluorescent

Tanks. The capacity ranges from 500 to 2500 litres. We also have alarmed Macerator/
Grinder Waste Pumps with holding tanks ranging from 175 to 5000 litres.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE
Our teams consist of skilled qualified individuals who have built their career in the
Construction Industry and are long serving employees with Wingate. Their experience
to overcome difficult operational constraints is invaluable whilst ensuring our high
standards of Health & Safety are maintained.
We operate on the majority of Private and Public sector projects which includes security
clearance in Airport Terminals (Airside), Rail Stations (Underground and Surface) and
MOD (Nuclear Licensed sites).

COMMERCIAL APPROACH
We have experienced commercial personnel who understand Construction Industry
Forms of Contract and can, if requested, provide cost transparency and monitor
market pricing to ensure competitiveness and value for money.
This approach is indicative of our belief to agree project values promptly after
completion of our works.
SERVICES OFFERED INCLUDE:
• Design – We do appreciate that time is not always available to you but if assistance
is required then we can help. We believe we can make a difference either at your
tender submission stage or prior to you inviting competitive tenders for our package
of works.
• Supply – We will provide all that is necessary to complete our installation although we
will consider incorporating items you may have available; providing the equipment
does not compromise our offer.
• Installation – All our installations conform to the latest British Standards and are carried
out by qualified personnel.
• Maintenance/Attendance – We can provide planned or visiting maintenance/
attendance to suit your projects requirements. We also operate a call-out facility that
includes out of site operational hours for any emergency.

RENEWABLE ENERGY
Our involvement in Renewable Energy has seen success in both the Off-Shore Wind
Farm and Solar (PV) Farm sectors.
OFF-SHORE WIND FARMS
Albeit on one single project to date we have built considerable experience and
expertise in providing a comprehensive scope of our total service range to the Gwynt Y
Mor Off-Shore Wind Farm eight miles out of Liverpool Bay.
A detailed Case Study of our contribution to this project is available but to summarise
this is one of the world’s largest off-shore wind farm projects and currently the largest
under construction anywhere in Europe.
It is a 2Billion (Euro) value project consisting of 160 Wind Turbines, once operational it will
produce an installed capacity of 576MW using Siemens 3.6MW turbines and generators.
It will be capable of generating enough energy to meet the average annual energy
needs of around 400,000 homes. The wind farm is due to be fully operational in 2015.
The Client is RWE Innogy in partnership with Stadtwerke Munchen Gmbh and Siemens AG.
SOLAR PV
Photovoltaic systems are considered an essential component for future power
generation infrastructure. Worldwide, hundreds of thousands of systems already provide
solar power directly to private households and commercial and industrial plants, or
feed the power into the public grid. This means that every user of electricity can now
have clean solar power.
WHAT IS A SOLAR FARM?
Solar farms, or solar parks, are the large-scale application of Solar Photovoltaic
(PV) installations used to generate electricity. They often cover large areas of land
(between 1 and 100 acres) and therefore they are usually developed in rural locations.
Approximately 25 acres of land is required for every 5 megawatts (MW) of installation,
enough to power 1,515 homes1.
1 Based on average annual consumption figures for a house of 3,300 kWh of electricity (source DECC, Ofgem)
17
Solar farms go through a rigorous planning procedure to get approval. This takes into
account the suitability of the site, any potential impact on the locality and relevant
renewable energy targets.
The UK needs solar power to meet the 15% EU renewable energy targets by 2020, but it
also creates investment and local green jobs, whilst reducing the reliance on overseas
fossil fuel imports. As this valuable and rapidly deployable sector grows, solar will help
businesses to manage their electricity costs while reducing their carbon emissions, and
will provide a choice about where you obtain your power.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) considers that solar PV could
contribute up to 20 gigawatts (GW) of generating capacity by 2020 if costs continue
to fall towards grid parity. To support this at the large scale, solar farms are eligible for
financial incentives under the Renewables Obligation (RO) scheme. Systems under
5MW can choose between the RO and the Feed-in Tariff Scheme (FITs).
SOME FACTS ABOUT SOLAR FARMS
1. They generate electricity locally and feed into the local electricity grid using a free
source of energy (the sun) to generate electricity on bright cloudy days as well as in
direct sunlight.
2. For every 5MW installed, a solar farm will power 1,515 homes for a year and save
2,150 tonnes of CO2.
3. They represent time-limited, reversible land use and provide an increased, diversified
and stable source of income for landowners.
4. They may have dual purpose usage with sheep or other animals grazing between
rows, and can help to support biodiversity by allowing small animals access to
otherwise fenced-off land, with bird and insect fodder plants and wildflowers sown
around the modules.
5. If 10,000MW of solar was installed on the ground, it would only use 0.1% of UK
agricultural land area, whilst being able to generate enough electricity for over 3
million homes.
6. There are no moving parts, and maintenance is minimal.
7. There is no by-product or waste generated, except during manufacturing or dismantling.
8. They have lower visual and environmental impacts than other forms of power generation.
9. Renewables give the customer the choice of buying green electricity and reduce
reliance on scarce fossil fuels.
