SES Wins £20m M&E Deal At Rugby Soft Drinks Bottling Plant
SES Engineering Services has won a new £20 million deal to deliver mechanical and electrical (M&E) works at a soft drink manufacturing and bottling plant in Rugby.
The company will act as principal contractor on the plant's extension, in what is E.ON Connecting Energies' largest CHP project to be undertaken in the UK.
E.ON provides tailored solutions in energy efficiency including on-site generation, virtual power plants and battery storage for industrial, commercial and public sector customers.
The Rugby site is one of the largest production facilities of its type, capable of filling 90,000 cans per hour. Under the contract, SES will install the first of three steam generators in July to supplement existing temporary boilers alongside the installation of two 4.5Mwe CHP units. Completion is scheduled for early 2019.
Dave Mason, SES' Business Director, said: "Working with new technologies under a complex set of engagements to provide programme surety for the customer, we needed to work closely with E.ON and our key supply chain partners to achieve the project requirements and all parties came together working collaboratively."
Steve Joyce, SES' business director North and Scotland, said: "This is the largest CHP project E.ON has undertaken in the UK to date. Further to the work we will carry out on the extension, as principal contractor we will also oversee the associated building works and the interconnection of the building services to the existing building. The works also consist of substantial HV power and protection upgrades. All this will be done whilst ensuring there is no interruption to the manufacturing and bottling processes.
"We fully understand the complexities and demands placed on the plant and services in this type of environment where the actual size of the plant and the configuration required are both substantial."
