Sheffield’s Servelec announces four major projects worth in excess of £3 million

Sheffield-based Servelec, technology provider to the energy sector, has announced that subsidiary Servelec Controls is involved in four major projects, worth in excess of £3 million.

The first is the installation of a dry fuel store monitoring system in a UK nuclear power station that will help increase the lifetime of the plant by a further 20 years.

The second is the replacement of sootblower controls at one of the UK’s largest coal-fired power stations. Sootblowers remove soot from boilers to ensure they operate at maximum efficiency and Servelec have been selected to replace the existing obsolete Allen Bradley controls with Rockwell ControlLogix PLC’s.

Servelec Controls oil & gas division has won a significant contract that requires the design and installation of modifications to the Process Controls System of a power station as well as new Fire & Gas and Emergency Shut-Down systems.

Finally, Servelec Controls will be involved in a unique 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 (DCS), design and fit out new Local Equipment Rooms (LER’s) and provide technical proposals for the migration of existing Fire & Gas and Emergency Shut-Down Systems.

Servelec Controls is part of Servelec Automation, a fully-owned subsidiary of Servelec Group plc. The Servelec Group provides software, hardware and services predominantly to the UK healthcare, oil & gas, nuclear, power, utilities and broadcast sectors.
