Tuppco recently delivered a professional onsite NPORS Road Roller (EWT) assessment for Tugwell Contracting at a live project site in Gloucestershire. This latest collaboration highlights a strong, ongoing partnership focused on maintaining high standards of safety, compliance, and operator competence across the UK’s growing solar infrastructure sector.

Supporting Solar Infrastructure with Skilled Operators

Tugwell Contracting is a trusted name in the renewable energy industry, specialising in the installation of infrastructure for solar parks nationwide. Their work includes constructing hardstanding areas and access tracks that are essential for the development, maintenance, and long-term performance of solar sites.

Given the scale and complexity of these projects, having properly trained and certified machinery operators is critical. That’s where Tuppco comes in.

Onsite NPORS Road Roller (EWT) Assessment

For this project in Gloucestershire, Tuppco conducted an NPORS (National Plant Operators Registration Scheme) assessment for a Road Roller under the Experienced Worker Test (EWT) route. This pathway is designed for operators who already have hands-on experience but require formal certification to meet industry standards.

Delivering the assessment onsite provided several advantages:

• Minimal disruption to Tugwell Contracting’s operations

• Real-world testing conditions on active infrastructure works

• Increased convenience for operators and site management

Our accredited instructors ensured that each candidate demonstrated the required competencies in safety, machine operation, and site awareness.

A Long-Standing Training Partnership

Tuppco has been delivering NPORS and Lantra-accredited training to Tugwell Contracting for over three years. This ongoing relationship includes:

• Training delivered at Tugwell’s Gloucestershire yard

• Onsite assessments at active project locations across the UK

• Flexible scheduling tailored to operational demands

This consistent approach has helped Tugwell Contracting maintain a highly skilled workforce capable of meeting the demands of large-scale solar park installations.
