    Templant joins Camfaud Group: resilient temporary power insights for UK projects

    First reported on The Construction Index

    30 Second Briefing

    Essex-based temporary power specialist Templant, which operates a rental fleet of more than 250 generators from 20 kVA to 1250 kVA plus battery energy storage systems and load banks, has been acquired by Camfaud Group, the UK’s largest concrete pumping company and part of Concrete Pumping Holdings (NASDAQ: BBCP). Templant will use Camfaud’s existing depots to build a multi-depot, 24/7 national network, adding service vans and HGVs to cut response times for planned and emergency power on major infrastructure and utility projects. Backed by over 35 engineers, electricians and drivers, the business plans a major expansion of Stage V generators and BESS to meet lower-emission requirements from Tier 1 contractors and utilities.

    Technical Brief

    • Templant operates 24/7, 365 days, targeting critical planned and emergency power continuity.
    • More than three decades of temporary power experience underpins design, installation and logistics capability.
    • Rental fleet includes distribution boards, cabling, fuel tanks and load banks alongside generators and BESS.
    • Over 35 qualified staff (engineers, electricians, drivers, office) support deployment and on-site operations.
    • Additional service vans and HGVs are planned to be stationed at depots to shorten mobilisation times.
    • New roles will be created across the depot network to increase capacity for large multi-site contracts.
    • Recent Tier 1 and utility tenders are driving specification of Stage V sets and BESS for emissions compliance.

    Our Take

    Within our 800 Infrastructure stories, UK-based equipment and services M&A has often preceded fleet decarbonisation moves, so Camfaud Group’s acquisition of a 250+ generator fleet positions it to standardise lower-emission and HVO-ready units across concrete and temporary power operations.

    Templant’s 24/7, 365-day operation and 20–1250 kVA spread gives Camfaud Group a scaleable standby power backbone that can support night pours, remote batching plants and tunnel works where grid reliability is a constraint on programme risk.

    With more than 35 qualified personnel and three decades of experience concentrated in Essex and the wider UK, the deal effectively internalises specialist temporary power know-how that contractors usually source from generalist plant hire, which can tighten interfaces on complex, sustainability-tagged projects such as low-carbon concrete placements or electrified sites.

    National Grid TBM under the Thames: tunnelling design and risk notes for engineers

    A 271.5‑tonne Herrenknecht Mixshield TBM, Caroline, has started driving a 2.2km electricity cable tunnel with a 4m internal diameter beneath the River Thames in Essex for National Grid’s Grain to Tilbury project, delivered by the Ferrovial BEMO joint venture. The drive will pass through variable Thames estuary ground conditions between 35m‑deep launch and reception shafts of 15m and 12m diameter, with tunnelling continuing into 2026 and overall scheme completion targeted for 2029. The new tunnel will replace the 1969 Thames Cable Tunnel and carry new high‑voltage circuits between Grain and Tilbury substations.

    Panama Canal Mixshield undercrossing: design and tunnelling lessons for engineers

    A 13.46m diameter Herrenknecht Mixshield TBM has broken through into the future Balboa station on Panama Metro Line 3 after completing the first-ever TBM undercrossing of the Panama Canal at depths exceeding 60m below sea level. The 5,600kW, 26,616kNm machine, fitted with an accessible cutterhead and more than 4,500 sensors linked via the Herrenknecht.Connected platform, has achieved peak advance of 150 segment rings (about 300m) per month through mixed sandstone, tuff, breccias and basalt. Around 1.5km of the 4.5km twin-track tunnel remains to final breakthrough.

    Hudson Tunnel funding deadline: schedule and risk takeaways for project teams

    Federal funding for New York’s US$16bn Hudson Tunnel Project has been frozen, forcing the Gateway Development Commission to suspend works from 6 February after spending over US$1bn and employing about 1,000 site workers. A Manhattan federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order, giving the administration until 5 p.m. on 12 February to restore reimbursements or appeal, while contractors warn that demobilisation, resequencing and remobilisation will add cost and delay. Sites are now in “safe-pause” mode, with dewatering, ground support and environmental monitoring maintained, and assembly of two Herrenknecht TBMs in New Jersey likely to slip beyond the planned spring 2026 launch without funding certainty.
