This win will create up to 100 jobs with Bilfinger UK undertaking the role of Principal Designer and Principal Contractor at key locations.

Work will include upgrades to Felindre Compressor Station in South Wales.

Compressor stations are strategically located at intervals along the NTS to maintain the flow of gas. Each station comprises two or more compressor units that pressurise and direct gas through the NTS, ensuring it moves at speeds of up to 25 mph.

As part of the Control System Refurbishment Project, funded by Ofgem, Bilfinger will undertake a multi-disciplinary design and construction programme while operating as principal contractor.

Bilfinger UK has been engaged in a further three-year programme of works, having already been involved in Front End Engineering Design (FEED) works for two years. This contract follows a two-stage approach, leveraging early contractor involvement (ECI).

The design phase will involve 40 to 50 people, with up to 100 personnel operating during the peak construction phase.

Ben Hill, Gas Framework Director at Bilfinger Engineering & Maintenance UK, said: “This contract is a testament to our successful collaboration with National Gas and our readiness to take the project forward into detailed design, build and commissioning.

“By utilising resources from our Engineering, Automation, and Production teams, we are well-equipped to deliver comprehensive solutions that meet the highest standards of safety and performance.”
