Boston's new build power generation plant required an Intermediate Pressure (IP) gas supply for their 7MW gas-peaking plant.
The developer, MWAT, turned to DEC to provide the turnkey solution. As a result, the connection to the existing 63mm IP gas main and commissioning of a twin stream pressure reduction station (PRS) was achieved in a very short 3-month turnaround from acceptance to completion.
This turnaround was enabled by several factors emanating from the expertise in the DEC team, namely, project management of the red tape, facilitated by a good working relationship fostered with the Highways Team during successful previous works in the Immediate area, excellent supply chain management to get the PRS through to the site promptly and the deployment of no dig directional drilling techniques to minimise environmental disruption.
Eric Greaves of DEC commented
“This was satisfying to see the speed we were able to get on-site and schedule through to commission.
The client is pleased as he can get the plant up and running to realise the earnings these sites need to see to make them viable.
Speed was of the essence but more importantly, was the design, compliance and technical delivery we provided as standard.”
Andrew Watkin, Director of MWAT the developer, had this to say about DEC.
“I unreservedly recommend DEC and am impressed with the speed at which they delivered our project in the East Midlands.
Intermediate pressure gas connections are complex, and it's clearly apparent that DEC has detailed knowledge of the approval processes and how to navigate them efficiently.
Working with Eric from DEC has been a great experience, including that they delivered the connection ahead of schedule and on a budget!”
