Costain has been awarded the project services contract to deliver the replacement of the UK’s $160M Humber Estuary Crossing for power company National Grid. The pipeline will connect to the existing National Grid AGI sites at Paull and Goxhill and will be 5.4km long, of which 5km will be tunnelled by TBM.
Planning consent for the up to 4m i.d. segmentally lined replacement pipeline, from the Planning Inspectorate is due in September 2016.
Costain will be providing a full range of project services to National Grid. The works will span across multiple disciplines including health, safety, project management, project controls and planning, commercial management, engineering, risk management and other specialist tunnelling disciplines.
Nigel Curry, Costain Power Sector Director, said: “Costain is delighted to have secured the contract to Programme Manage the delivery of this strategically important and complex project for National Grid. The award of this contract demonstrates Costain’s ability to meet its customers’ needs through our broadened Consultancy and Advisory project service offering.
