Denman wins international power contract


Denman Instrumentation Ltd, based in Hull, England, has secured a major contract with French power engineering company Alstom on a €1 billion joint repowering and new construction project in the southeast of the Netherlands.

The complex project involves the integration of three new gas turbines into a former steam power plant near Maastricht to form a 1,280 MW combined cycle power plant. The project features the most advanced technology available for a power plant and will reduce CO2 emissions by 40 per cent.

Denman has a longstanding relationship with Alstom, since supporting the infrastructure giant on the Killingholme power station in Lincolnshire in 2000.

“We are extremely pleased and proud to have been the first choice for Alstom for so many years,” said Paul Denman, founder and managing director. “The contracts we carry out are for work at highly technical and sensitive installations, and highlight the quality of our work and what we are capable of. In fulfilling these contracts, we’ve built up an enviable reputation for overseas work and shown our ability to work in a variety of environments throughout the world.”

Gary Griffiths, head of commissioning at Alstom for theUK & Ireland said: “Denman continues to provide an excellent service and has done so for many years. Their ability to provide an ‘all-in’ team of skilled and specialist professionals to complement our on-site engineers is first class. The company has excellent knowledge of the power industry and of our requirements on specific contracts—they really stand out from the competition for us.”

Denman Instrumentation is one of the UK’s leading instrumentation and calibration firms and has been providing teams of managers, engineers and technicians to the power and petrochemical industries since its inception in 1995. The company has completed projects in mainland Europe, South-East Asia, China, Dubai and Morocco.
