Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG) has been contracted to provide lightning inspection as part of specialist electrical services for Transport for London (TfL).
TfL is a local government body responsible for most of the transport network in London. It is the successor organisation of the London Passenger Transport Board, which was established in 1933, and several other bodies in the intervening years.
Since the current organization’s creation in 2000 as part of the Greater London Authority (GLA), TfL has been responsible for operating multiple urban rail networks, including the London Underground and Docklands Light Railway, as well as London’s buses, taxis, principal road routes, cycling provision, trams, and river services.
TfL’s Surface Transport and Traffic Operations Centre (STTOC) monitors and coordinates official responses to traffic congestion, incidents and major events in London.
PTSG Electrical Services Ltd has secured a renewal of its contract with TfL in which its engineers provide lightning protection testing, inspection and maintenance and will now also provide surge protection too. Surge protection devices protect installations such as computers and televisions from voltage spikes. Such large, sudden overvoltages can occur on power or signal lines and can overload electronic components, leading to failure as well as the potential to cause injury or even death.
PTSG delivers UK-leading building compliance and safety services.
PTSG provides façade access and fall arrest equipment, lightning protection and electrical compliance, cleaning, maintenance and rope access, fire and security and water treatment.
