As Rolleston continues to grow, so does the demand on our local network. This visit offers a rare "boots-on-the-ground" perspective of high-voltage infrastructure as it transitions from a blueprint to a live utility. We will explore the technical challenges of substation design and construction within a suburban environment.

Join the group afterwards at The Rock Rolleston for drinks, nibbles, networking and discussion.

PPE Required: Hi-vis jacket, steel toe capped boots, hard hat and safety boots.
