Working with these sections - realised everyone is so willing to help

Whenever I have been unsure of anything I'm not given the short answer, but am explained in a way in which I understand fully and can use the knowledge going forwards

Examples where I've been able to apply new knowledge is link box replacement programme and smart street

Back 8

Link box replacement program involves assessing aging underground assets and replacing them in order to create a more efficient and reliable network

Explain smart street and benefit

Back 9

Smart street I'm currently working on - involves replacing transformers with with ones able to remotely change tapping - amongst many benefits, one is all the current locations we are planning on replacing are in fuel deprived areas and the replacements will mean reduced electricity bills in these areas lessening the financial strains on those residents
