Controlled documents
Drawings, calculations and reports carry clear references, revision histories and approval status, so everyone knows which information to use.
About SinglePoint
An independent design office.
SinglePoint Utility Engineering brings clear thinking and technical rigour to electrical network design across England, Scotland and Wales, from LV up to and including 132 kV.
Our approach combines practical distribution engineering experience with controlled information, independent checks and named design approval. We help clients turn complex connection requirements into coordinated designs and confident decisions.
How we manage quality
Quality is built into how we develop, check and issue every design. Clear responsibilities, independent technical review and controlled information give clients confidence in the decisions behind their connection.
Independent technical checks
A competent engineer other than the designer checks the design and supporting calculations. Review comments are resolved before issue.
Accountable design approval
Every design is checked and approved before issue by our Approving Design Engineer, with named accountability on every drawing.
Operator requirements
Applicable DNO or IDNO specifications and relevant standards are identified at the outset and checked through the design process, including applicable ENA recommendations, ESQCR and CDM requirements.
Independently assessed
Accreditations & assurance
Clear credentials. Defined scope. Confidence in the team behind your design.

Paul Samuel
Technical Director
Paul brings 20 years of electrical engineering experience to a clear purpose: turning complex connection challenges into practical, well-governed designs.
His career spans consultancy, solar generation and utility network design, with senior leadership roles at UKPS and Last Mile Design & Build. He has led design teams of up to 30 people, held technical and commercial responsibility for electrical projects, and overseen network design up to 132 kV.
Paul combines a detailed understanding of DNO and IDNO requirements with experience of technical review, NERS design accreditation and the development of robust design processes. From residential and commercial developments to industrial, generation and private networks, he brings the technical judgement to resolve difficult questions and keep design decisions grounded in the needs of the project.
As SinglePoint's Technical Director, Paul provides technical leadership and governance across our electrical design work. Every design is checked and approved before issue by our Approving Design Engineer, with named accountability on every drawing.
Tools we use
We support projects across all DNO areas in England, Scotland and Wales, working to the relevant network-operator requirements for the agreed scope.
We use AutoCAD for coordinated drawings, CDEGS for earthing analysis and Visnet for LV network analysis, alongside a variety of other specialist software packages selected in line with project requirements.
