Flooding, due to frequent stormy weather
conditions, poses a real threat to our
substations and equipment. Electricity
transmission engineers have been testing
mobile flood defence systems in the UK
that will soon be the blueprint for future
deployment plans. The systems, each
comprising two trailers, can transport
flood defence barriers to sites in crisis.
