Frequently asked questions
Answers about Reynard’s high-voltage services, project delivery, specialist testing, training and careers.
Offshore Termination & Testing
What voltage levels does Reynard work with?
Our offshore teams support cable systems from 33 kV array cables through to 525 kV transmission and HVDC infrastructure.
Can Reynard provide testing as well as installation?
Yes. Reynard provides both cable termination and independent high-voltage testing, including resonance testing, VLF, partial discharge diagnostics and commissioning support.
Can Reynard work as a subcontractor?
Yes. We regularly work as a specialist subcontractor for EPC contractors, cable installation companies and offshore wind developers.
Onshore High-Voltage Connections
Does Reynard only work on BESS projects?
No. We support a wide range of onshore energy infrastructure, including substations, wind farms, solar parks, industrial facilities and grid reinforcement projects.
What voltage levels can Reynard support?
Our capabilities range from distribution networks through to transmission-level high-voltage systems. Please contact us to discuss your specific project requirements.
Can Reynard provide both installation and testing?
Yes. Reynard offers complete high-voltage connection services, including cable termination, testing, commissioning support and documentation.
Ready-Terminated & Tested HV Cables
What are Ready-Terminated & Tested HV Cables?
RTT Cables are high-voltage cable assemblies that are terminated, electrically tested and documented before delivery. Moving critical termination work to a controlled environment reduces installation time, improves quality and minimises project risk.
Can RTT Cables be used for both offshore and onshore projects?
Yes. Reynard supplies RTT Cables for offshore wind farms, offshore and onshore substations, Battery Energy Storage Systems, renewable energy projects and industrial high-voltage installations.
Are all cables tested before delivery?
Yes. Every RTT Cable is electrically tested in Reynard's own HV Test Room before leaving our facility. Test results and supporting documentation form part of the delivery package.
Can RTT Cables be manufactured to our project specification?
Yes. Every cable assembly is produced to the required cable type, length, accessories and connection interfaces so it arrives ready for installation.
What are the benefits of RTT Cables?
RTT Cables reduce installation time, improve quality consistency, minimise work in challenging site conditions and reduce the risk of delays during commissioning.
Mobile High-Voltage Testing
What testing services does Reynard provide?
Reynard provides a full range of high-voltage testing services, including AC Resonance Testing, VLF Testing, Partial Discharge (PD) Measurement, DAC Testing, TDR Fault Location, insulation resistance testing, Tan Delta measurements and commissioning support.
Do you provide testing for both offshore and onshore projects?
Yes. Reynard operates dedicated mobile testing units for both environments. Our offshore testing unit supports cable systems up to 66 kV, while our truck-mounted onshore testing unit is designed for cable systems up to 400 kV.
Can Reynard perform testing as a standalone service?
Yes. Our mobile testing units can be deployed independently or as part of a wider Reynard project scope. We regularly support EPC contractors, utilities, cable installers and asset owners with commissioning, verification and diagnostic testing.
When should high-voltage testing be carried out?
High-voltage testing is typically performed after cable installation, following repairs, before energisation or as part of condition assessments for existing assets. It verifies the integrity of the cable system and helps identify potential issues before they lead to failures.
Why choose Reynard for mobile high-voltage testing?
Our testing specialists combine advanced mobile testing equipment with years of practical experience in high-voltage cable installation and commissioning. That means we don't just provide test results—we understand how high-voltage systems behave in the field and help customers move safely towards energisation.
Full-Service Subcontracting
What is full-service subcontracting?
Full-service subcontracting means Reynard takes responsibility for an agreed high-voltage work package rather than simply supplying personnel. The scope can include engineering, installation, terminations, testing, commissioning, documentation and project management.
Can Reynard deliver the HV scope within a BESS Balance of Plant project?
Yes. Reynard supports BESS projects by delivering the critical high-voltage scope within the wider Balance of Plant and works alongside EPC contractors and developers.
Can Reynard integrate into our existing project team?
Yes. Our project managers and HV specialists integrate with existing project planning, quality and safety processes.
Does Reynard provide both personnel and equipment?
Yes. Reynard can provide experienced HV specialists, specialist tooling, mobile testing units and project management as one integrated service.
Do you support both offshore and onshore projects?
Yes. Our teams support offshore wind farms, substations, Battery Energy Storage Systems, renewable energy projects, industrial facilities and grid reinforcement programmes.
Consultancy, Maintenance & Repairs
What is included in a Reynard Service Level Agreement?
Every SLA is tailored to the customer's assets and can include preventative maintenance, inspections, repairs, Mobile High-Voltage Testing, fault finding, consultancy, engineering support, agreed response times and priority access to Reynard specialists.
Can the Service Level Agreement be customised?
Yes. Together, we define the scope, response times and support levels that best suit your asset portfolio and operational priorities.
Can Reynard repair high-voltage cable systems?
Yes. Reynard repairs high-voltage cable systems, joints and terminations for offshore and onshore assets. Repairs are verified through appropriate testing and documentation.
Do you only support systems installed by Reynard?
No. We provide consultancy, maintenance and repair services regardless of who originally designed or installed the high-voltage installation.
Can Reynard support both offshore and onshore assets?
Yes. We support offshore wind farms, substations, Battery Energy Storage Systems, renewable energy projects, industrial facilities and utility infrastructure.
Academy
What is high-voltage jointing offshore?
It is the specialist work of preparing, connecting and testing high-voltage cable systems in demanding offshore project conditions.
What types of cable connections are covered?
The Academy focuses on cable jointing, termination, project-specific accessories, tooling, safe working methods and quality expectations used in Reynard projects.
How do these services minimise risks?
Training, trade tests and assessments help verify readiness before deployment, reducing errors, delays and safety risks on site.
What are the benefits of offshore-optimised procedures?
Participants learn procedures that reflect actual offshore constraints, helping teams work more consistently in complex project environments.
How is long-term reliability supported?
Reliability is supported through correct tooling, tested competence, clear procedures, safety discipline and ongoing development.
Can training and trade tests be customised?
Yes. Training and trade tests can be aligned with the project scope, cable systems, client requirements and team development needs.
HV Jointers & Careers
What role do HV Jointers play in offshore wind projects?
HV Jointers prepare, connect and test the high-voltage cable systems that carry renewable electricity from offshore wind turbines and substations into the grid.
What is the working environment like for an HV Jointer at Reynard?
Projects are carefully prepared with a strong focus on safety, teamwork, clear communication and predictable rotations. Jointers work with experienced colleagues on demanding offshore and onshore projects.
What are the benefits of working as an HV Jointer at Reynard?
Reynard offers structured project rotations, professional development, specialist training and the opportunity to work on leading high-voltage and renewable energy projects.
