Project Value

Client Name

Vital Energi

Project Type

District Heating

The Sleaford District Heating scheme linked up the new straw fired power station to the town for a sustainable and renewable energy supply.

In early 2013, CPC Civils was appointed as the Civils Contractor to assist with the installation of a new District Heating Network around the Sleaford area in Lincolnshire. The scheme involved the excavation and reinstatement of approximately 2.5 kilometres of trench to allow for the installation of new District Heating Pipework.

The construction of a new Renewable Energy Centre in the Sleaford countryside was the first phase of the works. Trenches were then excavated for the District Heating Pipework which was welded and jointed (band muffed). The trenches were reinstated to the highways specification.

This process continued throughout the project and from this first phase, the trench continued along the Boston Road under strict Traffic Management Plans with various phases feeding local facilities such as Sleaford Town Football Club, Bowling & Leisure Centre, William Alvey School and Council Offices. These phases required thorough and detailed planning with local residents, business owners, Highways and facility representatives due to the complex nature of the works required.

Each phase was completed under a strict programme minimising any disruption to the local residents which resulted in many glowing reports to Client representatives throughout.

Client Testimonials

“We have formed not only fantastic working relationships but also lasting friendships. I would not hesitate in working with CPC Civils again, as they are without question the most helpful, skilful and friendly partner you could wish for, and I look forward to developing this already fruitful relationship further in the coming years.”

“Well done Wayne Barron, John Donnellan, Pat Concannon, Conall Cunningham and the CPC team. We had a phone call from Paul Dennison (Severn Trent Water), he and his colleagues are very complimentary of the work at Kingsholm. They praised the tidiness, the setup, the workforce attitude and the standard of workmanship completed at the site ”

“I could sit and write multiple examples where CPC and your team have, in my opinion, gone above and beyond what would normally be expected. I would however just like to say that this ongoing attitude, and excellent working relationship, has not only aided Centro in 2 current Metro extensions it has also given me huge confidence in the planning of 5 further Metro extensions. It’s also made my job very enjoyable”

“Interesting weekend replacing a 12m length of sewer that had collapsed underneath a railway line in Bloxwich. Within 48 hours the team were able to diagnose the problem and work up a design and complete the repair. Amazing collaboration between STW, Amey, CPC and Network Rail”

Carillion have been impressed by the high safety, quality and overall standards of your on-site Supervision, quality of workmanship and the ability to complete the works in line with the agreed programme.  It has been a pleasure working with the team from CPC Civils on the Lower Don Valley Flood Defence Project and we welcome working with them once more on future successful projects

We appreciate the professional manner in which you have proceeded with the planning and construction of the project despite the uncertain caused by delays in funding approval and agreements with landowners. The Board consider that your working methods, attention to detail, project management and health & saftey are excellent.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful opportunity that you provided my students with last week.
