Advanced Power Services Awarded 3M Qualified Electrical Construction Contractor Accreditation (QECC)
Published 04 Jul 2022
3M QECC
Advanced Power Services is the first company in the UK to be awarded the Qualified Electrical Construction Contractor Accreditation (QECC) from 3M.
Advanced Power Services is the first of a very small number of companies across the UK to be selected by 3M based on qualifications, experience and assessments on skills.
Since 1985, Thorne & Derrick have been Approved Distributors for 3M Electrical Products (LV HV) and whilst the competitive supply of product from stock on short lead times is essential to the contractor it is equally vital that 3M product reputation is preserved through the correct installation of products in accordance with 3M recommendations.
Until now the market has been largely unregulated until the 3M QECC launch. Advanced Power Services are proud to represent 3M in the marketplace and pleased to champion their first adopter of the QECC warranty program.
Advanced Power Services qualified and skilled Jointing Teams have completed in-depth assessments along with theoretical training on each 3M Medium Voltage product family that qualifies for the warranty.
Advanced Power Services qualified and skilled Jointing Teams have completed in-depth assessments along with theoretical training on each 3M Medium Voltage product family that qualifies for the warranty.
Training included Cable Theory, Joint Theory, Termination Theory, 3M Material Science and hands-on training & assessments. In addition to this, 3M will also provide continuous updates and refresher training as per the market requirements.
The QECC Certification enables Advanced Power Services to issue a 20-year product warranty to their clients on each new installation completed by our certified Jointing Teams.
Lee Burrell, Managing Director of Advanced Power Services said;
“I have been working with 3M now for a many years providing feedback on their products and over time we have built up a very good relationship. This new programme we hope will bring confidence to clients that our in-house, experienced jointers installing products on their network are competent, skilled, trained and qualified. This programme will strengthen our clients’ and consumers’ confidence when utilising our services on their networks and investing long term in their assets.”
This will change the landscape for Medium Voltage products.
Who would not want a 20-Year Warranty that provides value for money and peace of mind on their investment?
This will be invaluable for maintenance departments and private networks as any product failure will be covered by the 3M QECC Extended Warranty.
Each 3M Medium Voltage product family that qualifies for the warranty will be recorded in detail so that they can be properly referenced in the unlikely event of a failure to assist in any investigation.
As part of the QECC programme, contractors receive in-depth 3M product and technology training, including theoretical training on 11kV, 22kV, 33kV and 52kV joints, terminations and Separable Connectors.
Advanced Power Services is excited to be able to offer this amazing 20-Year Warranty to all their existing clients and welcomes new relationships with those interested in our cable jointing and testing services.
Choosing a 3M QECC certificated company allows you to have peace of mind that the contractors you’re working with are trained to the highest level and backed by an extended 3M 20-year product warranty.
