Alcomet, the leading supplier of substation and earthing equipment, is delighted to announce a newly formed partnership with Pragmatic Consulting, a specialist provider of technical training and safety consultancy services.
Combining Alcomet’s experience in delivering Earthing Solutions with Pragmatic Consulting’s training expertise, supports organisations to better understand the correct selection, application, testing and safe use of Portable Earthing equipment in line with industry standards.
Portable earth leads are a crucial safety tool used to temporarily ground de-energiszed high-voltage systems, preventing electrocution from accidental energization or induced voltages.
However, inconsistent training and varying interpretations of best practice can create unnecessary risk. This partnership seeks to address that challenge by aligning real-world equipment knowledge with clear, practical training, helping engineers, technicians and safety professionals gain confidence in both theory and application.
Commenting on the partnership, Chris Beasley, Managing Director of Alcomet said:
“Safety equipment is only effective when it’s properly understood and correctly used. By working with Pragmatic Consulting, we can help ensure that Portable Earth Leads (such as Impressed Voltage Drain Earths, NSI2 Drain Earths, Field Equipment Earths and NSI24 Bridging kits and many more) are not only supplied but are supported by high-quality training that reflects how they are used in the field.”
Jo Niblett, Managing Director of Pragmatic Consulting added:
“This collaboration allows us to connect training directly with the correct equipment engineers rely on every day. Bringing supply and training together helps remove ambiguity and supports safer working practices across the industry.”
Together, Alcomet and Pragmatic Consulting aim to support TNO’s, DNO’s, IDNO’s and Contractors in improving competence, compliance and, ultimately, site safety.
