MARINA NEWS Q2 NEWS Marina MARINA NEWS Q2 8 July 2024 at 11:10:20 We’re excited to share what our marina department has been up too over the past couple of months. In this edition, we’re sailing from south to the midlands, diving deep into the projects and developments that have been making waves. Launching from Chelsea Harbour and sailing right up to Sawley Marina, we have plenty of news to update you with. Keep reading to find out more. Chelsea Harbour Chelsea Harbour, an urban oasis in West London on the River Thames, is not only one of the most famous and luxurious maritime sites, but also one of the most attractive and desirable locations in the city. With them feeling the need for a refurbishment, Rolec stepped in to help. Working in partnership with our long-standing partner, Power Portal, Rolec installed bespoke Quantum service pedestals. They were fully equipped with LED lighting and the BerthMaster smart service management and operating system. We were privileged to be part of this incredible project at Chelsea Harbour and to showcase Rolec's innovative solutions at such a prestigious location. Delivering a reliable solution for what the client required for their refurb. The full video is uploaded on YouTube, watch it here. Roydon Marina Village Across to Roydon Marina Village, a luxury holiday oasis, offering moorings, lodges, and residential park homes as well as a hotel and boathouse café. Their 315-berth marina offers moorings of up 70 feet in length, enabling them to accommodate most narrowboats. Currently, they are undergoing a two-phase expansion, with phase one completed in March 2024. Rolec made significant moves in the first phase of Roydon’s marina extension by supplying Quantum service pedestals, SmartCard metering system and a substantial addition of EV charging infrastructure for the marina’s staff and guest parking facilities. The full video is uploaded on YouTube, watch it here. Celebrating Tim Butler Rolec is thrilled to announce that Tim Butler has accepted a promotion to Key Client Engineer. In his new role, Tim will shift his focus from the installation of equipment to closer engagement with our clients. Tim has been a loyal and dedicated member of the Rolec team for 21 years, contributing significantly to our projects across hundreds of marina and leisure sites in the UK and around the world. He is well-travelled, for sure! He has a wealth of expertise across entire project lifecycles, from conception and planning to execution, monitoring, handover, and strategic vision. Tim is here to assist our local and international customers throughout the entire journey of their marina development projects. His reliable and supportive nature will ensure a smooth experience with Rolec. If you require industry leading expertise with a site visit/survey, no obligation quotation, project guidance or anything else, please get in touch. Brinklow Marina Sailing north to Brinklow Waterside & Marina, on the Northern Arm of the Oxford Canal in Warwickshire. In addition to this marina, there are 28 other marinas in this network that are located all over the country, from those nestled within the English countryside and those located in the heart of cities. In these ever-changing tides of waterway travel, a new wave of electric and hybrid narrowboats has emerged! To support this new wave, our dedicated marina team proudly delivered Brinklow’s first ever electric boat charging point, and just in time for the inaugural ELECTRIKA Boat Show where some 19 electric narrowboats made full use. This new Quantum charger features 2 sockets and is personalised with Brinklow’s branding. It also includes LED amenity lighting and is enclosed by mirrors, seamlessly blending into its environmental surroundings. Sawley Marina Finally, Sawley Marina, a tranquil setting, on a navigational cut of the River Trent near Long Eaton in Nottinghamshire, the largest inland marina in the UK. With a water space that covers 23 acres, lapping up against the green and natural borders of the rural landscape, Sawley is peaceful yet well-connected. We are proud to partner with them on this project, which includes upgrading all the pedestals to include LED amenity lighting and integrating new electric boat charging facilities. Rolec’s expert engineers will oversee all aspects of the installation. Stay tuned for the full case study! Introducing Daniel Goodyear Daniel Goodyear is our Eco-Visual Content Creator at Rolec.

- EV Charging Project to Meet Regulations for Residential Buildings
CASE STUDY EV Charging Project to Meet Regulations for Residential Buildings KEEPMOAT HOMES Keepmoat Homes stands as a leading partnership homebuilder, solidifying its position as a top 10 UK house builder with a successful track record of delivering quality homes across the nation. Their success extends beyond construction, embracing a holistic approach to community building. Keepmoat has developed thousands of new homes across the UK, transforming once-dormant brownfield sites into vibrant communities. In line with sustainability initiatives, as of June 2022, all new residential buildings must be equipped with smart EV chargepoints to encourage EV uptake. Developments with 10 or more parking spaces must include a chargepoint for each dwelling with parking and cable routes for all other spaces. SCOPE Supply reliable and affordable EV chargepoints for a Keepmoat Development in Doncaster, featuring over 600 houses. SOLUTION ROLEC supplied WALLPOD chargepoints for Keepmoat Homes equipping over 600 houses with EV charging infrastructure. Other major housing developers, including Barrett Homes, Kier, Taylor Wimpey, Redrow Homes, Bloor Homes, Fairview Homes, Cala Homes, Elan Homes, Bellway Homes, Orbit Homes, and Persimmon Homes, have also chosen ROLEC's cost-effective charging solutions for their projects.

- EV Charging Solutions for Developers and Architects
EV Charging Solutions for Developers and Architects BLOG EV Charging EV Charging Solutions for Developers and Architects 31 May 2024 at 10:20:02 The Future Is Electric It is not new to suggest that more needs to be done to tackle the current climate emergency. The push for rapid decarbonisation can be felt throughout the UK and expands far into the world. Something that has been acutely felt in the built-environment industry. Especially with the UK Government’s introduction of the Part S building regulations. Residential and commercial EV infrastructure has been a huge conversation point the last few years. And the Government’s Part S regulations have only worked to further cement this concept. Making it compulsory for all new build properties (with off-street parking) to provide an EV charge point for future occupants. It also applies to properties undergoing major renovations (that will have more than 10 parking spaces upon completion). As well as introducing a set of minimum standards for all new charge points. The aim, of course, being to make EVs more accessible and create infrastructure to support the switch to fully electric. This new regulation specifically aims to tackle this problem of electric vehicle infrastructure we currently have in the UK. Highlighted as one of the greatest problems facing the adoption of electric vehicles, many people have stated increased range anxiety and the inaccessibility of EV charge points as one of their main deterrents against taking the plunge into emission-free transport. Our 16 years of experience in the EV industry means that we can offer solutions that meet both your current and future charging needs. Providing you with assistance from planning to breaking ground and after. Streamlining the installation of chargepoints while ensuring full compliance with all current regulations. Key Considerations Design & Specify Architects, do you feel like your plans are missing something but can’t quite put your finger on it? We’re giving you the pieces to build your development from the ground up. Rolec EV are partners with NBS, which means you can find our products on NBS Source . ‘NBS Source’ is a free-to-use construction product platform that allows you to find, select and specify our products quickly and easily. Giving you the detailed information you need to make informed product decisions. As well as access to BIM & CAD packages to help you visualise our chargepoints in your development. Installation The first thing you need to consider when selecting the right charge point is where it will be located. For example, a home charger such as, Zura, WallPod, or QUBEV Smart, is likely to only be used by you and often only once a day (overnight) whereas chargers located in a residential estate or commercial development are likely to be used by a number of different electric vehicles, and subject to a greater level of wear and tear. This is where BasicCharge and Quantum chargers step in. Furthermore, factors such as the complexity of the installation, site conditions, the types of chargers, and labour will determine the installation cost. A fully qualified and experienced EV chargepoint installer will be able to give you the best advice on what would work for your specific location and based on their assessment they will give you an accurate cost for the installation. To aid you in this process, the team at Rolec EV can recommend an Approved Installation Partner, who can offer a full turnkey solution from site survey, to civils, installation, and commissioning. Additional considerations for commissioning, like opting for wireless setup via Bluetooth allows for building control approval before the homeowner or resident installs Wi-Fi. This approach therefore gives you the freedom to set up chargepoints without ongoing costs to the developer until the property is occupied. Load Balancing and Management Adding chargepoints to your development means that the demands on your electrical load can increase significantly. Therefore, influencing the capacity needed on site. Our Load Balancing solutions can allow you to increase the number of chargepoints you can operate on the site’s existing available supply. We are able to provide this in two ways. For single charging units, we can supply Automatic Dynamic Load Balancing via a CT clamp that is attached around the property’s live cable between the meter and consumer unit. For multiple charge points, a load management profile is created at point of installation and balances the property’s available power: Dynamic Load Management via a DLB & Fuse Protection Device which is connected directly to the main electrical supply. Charging Speed For homes, a 7.4kW charger is the industry standard and is in fact required to meet the Part S regulations. Since the user is likely to plug in for 8-hours overnight or to top up during their off-peak tariff hours. Whereas commercial spaces would typically opt for either 7.4kW or 22kW chargers for general charging and fleet operators may look toward DC rapid charging with speeds of up to 240kW. Solar As part of your journey to future-proofing your development it is important to consider how the chargers will work with any existing or future solar arrays. Not all chargers are created equal, and some models may not be compatible with solar power. You will need to pay attention to the listed features for each chargepoint you are considering to ensure it will work for the development. Thankfully, all of Rolec’s AC units support Solar charging via a CT clamp. MID-metering MID-approved metering is essential for accurately monitoring energy usage and producing automatic billing. This is something that is especially important to consider when creating a public or shared charging network. For this reason, Rolec’s commercial/public charging solutions come equipped with in-built ‘class B accurate’ MID-metering as standard, whilst many other models on the market do not. A Trusted Name Rolec was chosen to supply electric vehicle chargepoints for a Keepmoat Development in Doncaster which features over 600 houses, all fitted with WallPod charging units. And we have truly made a name for ourselves as providers of charging hardware throughout the domestic and commercial markets alike. Rolec is a trusted name and our products have been featured by many other major developments including Balfour Beatty, Winvic, Kier, Bellway Homes, Skanska, St. Modwen’s Logistics, and Taylor Wimpey.
