UK’s first fully integrated high performance power plant construction business announced
Two of Europe’s leading engineering firms are linking up in a joint venture that will see the creation of the UK’s first fully integrated high performance power plant construction business.
The new company, In2grated Installations (I2I), combines the expertise of UK-based PJD Group, one of the UK’s largest specialist mechanical engineering businesses and FMT Group, based in Austria.
Castle Donington headquartered PJD was established over 25 years ago and continues to service the power generation, environmental energy and industrial process sectors. For over 30 years, FMT Group, which has its head office in Wels, Austria, has set new standards in the field of installation and servicing of industrial plants. FMT has offices across Europe and in the USA, employing over 700 experts
The formation of I2I sees the creation of the first fully integrated mechanical and electrical installation specialist. The new business will offer a range of specialist expertise ranging from boilers and turbines, to electrical installation, control and instrumentation and balance of plant.
The main focus of I2I’s business operation is the experience gained from over 30 years in the energy sector. This encompasses both the UK and International markets and guarantees customers a wealth of knowledge, valuable insight and commercial expertise. This combined experience of working on a wide variety of power generation plants has provided a unique understanding of the needs of operators and owners.
David Hayle, Chief Executive of PJD Group, commented: “This is an exciting development for the UK energy sector and a first for the industry. Up until now, UK power plant construction in the UK has been a fragmented process involving multiple contractors, each with their own approach, policies and working methods. Within the industry there is increasing pressure to complete new projects to strict budgets and time constraints. This traditional approach to power plant construction is costly, inflexible and challenging.
“The launch of I2I addresses the traditional problems faced by the industry by combining all the experience of two industry leading operators and provides a vast bank of knowledge and expertise that has not previously been available. UK energy sector customers will now be able to access a cohesive approach to biomass, energy from waste, combined cycle and nuclear power plant construction that provides a systematic approach, one point of contact and significant savings.”
Heinz Michael Angerlehner, Managing Director said: “This collaboration at last provides a comprehensive solution for the industry which has been lacking a fully joined up approach. Combining the expertise of PJD Group with FMT Group has great benefits as both work and operate to the same high standards of quality, health, safety, customer service and environmental responsibility. These complementary cultures make collaboration ideal and offer considerable business advantages.”
As specialists in both mechanical installation and electrical and instrumentation systems, I2I can handle complex projects with one dedicated team, guaranteed high standards and total flexibility. As a direct result of over three decades of energy sector experience, I2I fully understands the pressures facing power plant owners and main contractors.
Added Heinz Michael Angerlehner “The creation of I2I has many distinct benefits. With a single team for all mechanical and electrical installation projects, an industry-leading performance in health and safety, environmental and quality assurance, plus an unbroken chain of responsibility the whole process from start to finish is seamless resulting in problem free builds and reduced costs and timings.”
