H&MV Engineering

This 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐚𝐲, we’re proud to celebrate the women helping shape the future of engineering across H&MV Engineering.

Under this year’s theme, Engineering Intelligence, we’re spotlighting four talented women from our engineering teams around the globe — sharing their experiences, insights, and the impact they make every day.

From what inspired them to pursue engineering, to how they apply engineering intelligence in real-world projects, these conversations highlight the expertise, innovation, and problem-solving that drive our industry forward.

Whether discussing projects that made a difference or sharing advice for the next generation of engineers, their perspectives offer inspiration for young women considering a future in the field.

Great to be in Frankfurt yesterday for the UW04 Fechenheim groundbreaking ceremony with Digital Realty—marking the start of another key phase in what is becoming a next-generation data centre campus.

Set within the historic Neckermann building—originally developed in the 1960s as a postal and logistics hub—the site is now being transformed into a critical piece of digital infrastructure, supporting the future of data centres and next-generation connectivity in Frankfurt.

This development reflects Digital Realty’s vision for the future of digital infrastructure, delivering high-performance, scalable facilities that will support the next generation of cloud, AI and hyperscale technologies across their growing Frankfurt platform. Their continued investment in the region demonstrates a strong commitment to innovation, sustainability, and long-term digital growth.



H&MV Engineering is proud to be partnering with Digital Realty on this landmark project.



As part of our EPC scope, H&MV is delivering the full civil and electrical design, procurement, installation and commissioning of a critical high-voltage substation, transformers, over 55 MV switchgear panels and thousands of metres of HV/MV/LV cabling infrastructure—providing the resilient power backbone required to enable the next phases of this campus. This will be one of the largest and most complex substations across the Digital Realty campus.



Both Digital Realty and H&MV place safety at the heart of everything we do, and it was clear from the outset that this shared focus, combined with strong collaboration across all teams, will be key to delivering this project successfully.

Drawing on our experience delivering complex energy infrastructure across multiple countries, H&MV brings a combination of global expertise and strong local capability here in Germany—ensuring the highest standards of delivery, innovation and ex*****on on a project of this scale.



Excited to continue delivering this project together.

Bracklone 110 kV Substation has successfully energised onto the transmission system, marking a significant milestone for the H&MV Engineering and ESB project teams.

As the appointed EPC contractor, H&MV Engineering worked in close collaboration with ESB Engineering and Major Projects and ESB Networks to ensure full alignment across design, construction, and operational interfaces throughout the project lifecycle. This integrated delivery approach enabled the coordinated ex*****on of CSA, electrical, and commissioning activities, as well as the seamless integration of third-party works across the existing transmission network and remote-end substations.

The successful energisation and handover of Bracklone Substation will support the offloading of the MV network and enhance system reliability, capacity, and long-term resilience for the Midlands region. We are proud to have played a key role in delivering this critical infrastructure.

We extend our sincere thanks to ESB Engineering and Major Projects and ESB Networks for their continued partnership and trust, and to our wider project team — including designers, site teams, safety, CSA, primary and service divisions, commissioning teams, office-based support, suppliers, and subcontractors — whose commitment and expertise were central to the safe and successful delivery of this project.
