Urban Public Parking EV Charging Infrastructure Installation

As electric vehicle adoption accelerates across Canada, municipalities and property owners are rapidly upgrading parking facilities to support public charging. ENS was selected as the general contractor to install electric vehicle charging infrastructure across multiple urban parking facilities.

Project Scope

The project involved the installation of Level 2 and Level 3 commercial EV charging stations in several public parking structures and surface lots. The work required both interior and exterior deployments and integration with new metered utility services along with upgrades to existing electrical distribution systems.

ENS coordinated all civil and electrical construction, including:

• Underground conduit and cabling

• Transformer installation

• Electrical distribution upgrades

• Utility coordination and inspections

• Surface restoration and site finishing

  
  

Complex Site Conditions

Several locations were dense urban “infill” sites where subsurface conditions were unknown. During excavation, environmental and soil challenges were discovered that required testing, remediation, and modified restoration procedures before installation could continue.

In addition, supply chain delays affected key electrical equipment. To maintain project timelines, ENS engineered and fabricated custom outdoor utility enclosures that met electrical safety and certification requirements while remaining compliant with utility standards.

Results

Through proactive project management and engineering coordination, the project continued without major schedule impacts and remained on track for completion.

Key Outcomes

• Successful installation of public EV charging infrastructure

• Compliance with utility and electrical safety requirements

• Custom-engineered solutions to overcome equipment delays

• Adaptation to environmental construction challenges

  
  

This project demonstrates ENS’s expertise in urban EV charging infrastructure deployment, particularly in high-density environments where coordination with utilities, inspectors, and civil works is critical.
