Energetics wins £1m New Street contract
The Midlands office of Energetics has been awarded a £1m contract by Network Rail to provide a new high-voltage energy supply to Birmingham New Street Station.
The multi-utility services provider, which has a depot in Coleshill, North Warwickshire, will undertake the work as part of the £600m New Street Gateway project.
As part of the £1m New Street contract, the energy company will lay three kilometres of cable through Birmingham city centre.
It will also construct two new intake HV switchrooms, which house the high-voltage switchgear that provides the power supply.
The first switchroom is expected to be completed by March 2012 and the second by May 2013.
Bill McSheffery, major developments manager for Energetics, said: "This is a major contract win which will help to establish Energetics throughout the region as a major player in the energy sector.
"The redevelopment of New Street station is one of the most important regeneration projects to be progressed in Birmingham for decades, and Energetics is looking forward to playing a role in the transformation of this vital transport hub."
