LONDON (Alliance News) - Servelec Group PLC said Monday that its Servelec Controls business, which is part of its Servelec Automation subsidiary, has been selected to work on four new projects, worth more than GBP3 million.
The first contract covers the installation of a dry fuel store monitoring system in an unnamed UK nuclear power station that will help increase the lifetime of the plant by a further 20 years. Under the terms of the contract Servelec Control's work includes the design, manufacture and site installation of the system that will primarily monitor the temperature of Multi-Purpose Canisters.
The second project is the replacement of sootblower controls at a UK coal-fired power stations. Sootblowers remove soot from boilers to ensure they operate at maximum efficiency. Servelec has been selected to replace the existing obsolete Allen Bradley controls with Rockwell ControlLogix PLC's.
Servelec Controls' oil and gas division has won a contract that requires the design and installation of modifications to the process controls system of a power station as well as new fire and gas and emergency shut-down systems. The modifications are required to remove the use of Freon R-22, an ozone depleting substance, to help the plant comply with the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, said the company.
Finally, Servelec Controls will also be involved in a project that will see the relocation of an entire power plant from the UK to the Middle East. Once the CHP power plant has been deconstructed, transported and rebuilt, Servelec Controls will design, construct and install a site-wide distributed control system, design and fit out new local equipment rooms and provide technical proposals for the migration of existing fire and gas and emergency shut-down systems.
Servelec Group is a UK-based technology group, providing software, hardware and services predominantly to the UK healthcare, oil and gas, nuclear, power, utilities and broadcast sectors.
Shares in Servelec were Monday trading marginally lower, down 0.62% at 259.00 pence per share.
