TECHNICA TO PROVIDE SPECIALIST INSTALLATION EXPERTISE TO SGN

Only one month after a similar contract award from SGN, Technica has been selected to provide specialist Electrical, Control and Instrumentation (EC&I) installation services in the South-Eastern section of the SGN network.

Working alongside the civils and mechanically biased main works contractor who are undertaking a major upgrade of this critical site, Technica will oversee the installation and commissioning of all EC&I elements of the project including switchgear, fuel gas metering skids, boiler house and heat exchangers, telemetry, pressure regulation and site lighting.

Richard Law, director at Technica commented “Despite contingency planning for both projects to be awarded to Technica, our expectation was that we would be successful with one, so this contract has come as a genuine surprise and a welcome reward for our construction team”.  He continued “Our relationship with SGN continues to be positive and we will do everything possible to repay their trust in our team”.

John Davison, owner of Technica said “I am proud of the whole team for their hard work and dedication in pulling together what has been a technically excellent and commercially attractive proposal for this client”.  He concluded “SGN have become one of our most important customers and my team are looking forward to delivering another safe and successful project for them”.

SGN is one of the largest gas network operators within the UK, providing gas to over 5.9 million homes and businesses across Scotland and the south of England.  For more information please see their website www.sgn.co.uk.

Over many years, Technica (www.technicaltd.com) has developed the capability to design and deliver complex Electrical, Control, Instrumentation, Mechanical and Process engineering solutions.  They specialise in Fiscal and Non-Fiscal metering, RTU, Fire and Gas, SCADA, Local Gas Treatment and industrial automation and control.  Technica is also able to provide EPC, EPCM and consultancy services to clients and has extensive experience in the successful delivery of CDM projects as both Principal Designer and Principal Contractor.

Within our company we believe that young people should have the opportunity to access the range of skills that a workplace can provide including hard skills such as training and mentoring and soft skills including communication and problem solving.

T-Level/A-Level Placements

T-Level placements are a new Level 3 Qualification across a 2 year duration for 16-19 year olds.

T-Level students complete an industry placement to cover an experience in a workplace environment.

Technica believe that supporting local young people only helps to improve the industry’s future and the development of prospective future engineers, technicians, and designers.

Apprenticeships

At Technica we understand the importance of developing young people in the industry and one of the most common routes for school/college leavers to take is an apprenticeship.

If you have interest in practical hands on work and want to earn whilst you learn then an apprenticeship is the perfect pathway for you.

Graduate Career Opportunities

A graduate scheme allows students who have progressed through University post-degree to gain experience of a company with the Engineering industry. Graduates at Technica will further develop their knowledge and skills of the engineering industry whilst providing new ideas and insight to us as a company. A student who studied Engineering would begin a career with Technica as a Graduate Engineer and after 2-4 years could potentially progress to a fully qualified Engineer.
