November 20 2013 - 11:29AM
Pacific Green Technologies Inc. ("the Company") (OTCQB:PGTK) is
pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Energy Park Sutton Bridge
Limited ("EPSB"), has appointed Fichtner Consulting Engineers
Limited ("Fichtner") as owner's engineer in respect of EPSB's
proposed 49MWe biomass energy plant at Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire,
UK.
Fichtner has acted as owner's engineer and lender's engineer on
a wide range of projects both in the UK and Worldwide, and has
provided a range of services to major power utilities as well as
independent developers and their financiers.
In the UK, and by way of example, Fichtner has provided services
both during development and construction to operational biomass
projects such as Wilton 10, Steven's Croft and the 16.5MW Western
Wood project. The Wilton project became the UK's first
large scale wood to energy plant when it began commercial
operations in 2007 with Fichtner supporting the project through
planning, implementation, construction, commissioning and
testing. On the Western Wood project, which also uses wood as
its fuel, Fichtner played the role of Owner's and Lender's Engineer
with responsibilities throughout the development and construction
and commissioning phases.
Fichtner will initially provide EPSB with technical support for
pre-construction development with services for the development of
the main plant including technology review; permitting support;
provision of operating and maintenance cost data for the financial
model.
It is then envisaged that Fichtner will be engaged in the
preparation of specification and tender invitation documents for
the construction of the facility and support for negotiations with
prospective contractors; a range of engineering services during the
development, construction and commissioning of the heat supply
infrastructure scheme, including preparation of outline engineering
design and detailed tender documentation for the infrastructure
required to enable the supply of heat to a nearby potential
customer.
Neil Carmichael, chief executive of the Company, commented: "We
are delighted to have secured the services of Fichtner at our
proposed biomass plant at Sutton Bridge. Fichtner's expertise
as owner's engineer and lender's engineer will provide rigorous
support to the project and our financiers."
Alan Thompson, Project Director at EPSB, commented, "It is an
absolute pleasure to welcome the world-class Fichtner team to our
project."
