Sectors Transmission

With the government’s drive to accelerate renewable energy and upgrade the grid, demand is surging for new transmission lines and overhead line (OHL) infrastructure. Grassform Group is at the forefront of delivering fast, reliable solutions for site access, groundworks, and large-scale power transmission projects. Our heavy-duty ground protection solutions are purpose-built to handle the demands of cranes, tower deliveries, cable drum trailers, and heavy plant required for the construction and upgrade of OHL routes—often across remote, soft ground and environmentally sensitive landscapes. Whether working on farmland, uneven terrain, or protected sites, our systems ensure safe, stable access and working platforms, allowing transmission projects to progress smoothly even in challenging conditions.

A key advantage Grassform Group offers is our flexible, dependable service. Our experienced team conducts rapid site assessments and mobilises quickly, with installations carefully planned to meet tight National Grid or DNO timelines and the logistical complexities of long-distance line works. We frequently install our systems in advance, remain on-site during critical tower erection or stringing operations, and uplift the same day—helping contractors minimise disruption, reduce downtime, and maintain momentum on high-pressure grid projects.

As the transmission sector moves towards smarter, more sustainable methods, there has been a major shift away from traditional stone haul roads in favour of our reusable ground protection systems. By eliminating the need for quarried stone and cutting down on vehicle movements, our systems deliver significant cost and time savings while reducing carbon emissions—often by up to 70% compared to conventional methods. This enables transmission contractors and clients to meet stringent environmental targets and deliver progress towards Net Zero ambitions.

We also understand that many OHL and transmission line projects cross through sensitive areas, including agricultural land, green spaces, and Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Our low-impact access solutions are engineered to minimise ground disturbance, protect fragile environments, and ensure compliance with strict environmental regulations—allowing grid infrastructure works to continue efficiently with minimal footprint and maximum care.
