GAS meter firm Energy Assets Group has been awarded a contract worth more than £1 million by The Pirbright Institute, to help refurbish the scientific organisation's Surrey campus.
Livingston-based Energy Assets Group, headed by chief executive Phil Bellamy-Lee, said the project will start by year-end, with the company set to design and project-manage the installation of gas infrastructure and metering.
Its work will include the engineering design, project management and delivery of more than 3 kilometres of medium-pressure polyethylene pipeline plus a new pressure reduction and metering installation.
The Pirbright Institute specialises in preventing and controlling viral diseases that affect animals, and says its work helps global food security and health.
Russell Gibson, chief operating officer of Energy Assets, said it is "delighted" to have been chosen for what it called a "complex" project.
He said: "The award of this contract is testimony to the expertise within our business and is a strong endorsement of our ability to handle complicated siteworks projects which demonstrates our uniquely differentiated offering."
The project will be the first to be totally managed by its siteworks division after it was given full project management status under the Gas Industry Registration Scheme.
The firm, the UK's largest independent provider of industrial and commercial gas metering services, said the new contract "underpins the group's aspirations to become the leading siteworks service provider in the utility sector" and is in line with group growth targets.
Energy Assets said earlier this month that it bought Origin Technical Business Services.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
