Executive Summary<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

OCS was appointed as principal designer and contractor to deliver a \u00a31.3\u202fmillion low\u2011carbon vehicle hub at The Falkirk Stadium in Falkirk, Scotland. The project created 26 dedicated EV parking bays\u2014three of which are reserved for disabled drivers, and is part of the stadium\u2019s wider ambition to offer an exclusively electric vehicle car park.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Outcome<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

OCS delivered the EV hub on time and defect-free, installing five 50\u202fkW rapid chargers and eight 22\u202fkW fast chargers powered partly by solar PV and battery storage. A Dynamic Load Management System optimises demand and energy use, with excess solar energy exported to the stadium or grid.<\/p>\n

Working within a six-metre height limit due to overhead power lines, OCS partnered with Scottish Power and used tailored safety measures to complete the build without reducing parking capacity. The project showcases OCS\u2019s expertise in sustainable infrastructure and has already led to a second EV hub commission on the Electric A9 corridor in Stirling.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n \n \n <\/g>\n <\/svg>\n
\n

\n \u201cWe have a wealth of experience across numerous industry sectors at OCS. We worked closely with Falkirk Stadium to deliver a project that will drive continued mainstream appeal for low-carbon vehicles. By facilitating this electric vehicle hub, we are hopeful that this project will inspire others to adopt this type of car park.\u201d <\/p>\n
