Client Name

Vital Energi

Project Type

District Heating

Installation of a multi service corridor plus deep drainage and substations for power a network.

Through 2012 CPC worked with Vital Energi to install another 2500m of buried heating mains, water main and gas mains for the infrastructure for the new cluster 2/4 at Heslington campus, York.

In addition LV, HV and comms ducts and cables were installed as well as around 250 No draw pits. Three new HV electrical substations were constructed around the campus.

In addition to the above, new foul drainage from the cluster and the new Yorkshire sports village complex was installed at an average depth of 4m in very challenging ground conditions with dewatering wells pointing being required for the majority to cope with the running sand.

“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 ”

Mick HealeyContracts Manager - Amey PLC

“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”
