Jacobs will design and install new gas compression, gas treatment facilities, a control system and utilities for the project. The work will be executed from Jacobs’ office in Manchester.
The overall project at Storengy’s Stublach site is expected to expand the natural gas storage capacity up to 400 million cubic meters. Operations at the new facility are scheduled to begin in 2013 with a total investment estimated at GBP350m.
Allyn Taylor, vice president of Jacobs Group, said: “We are extremely pleased to help Storengy as it continues to meet energy demands in the UK. This project is an opportunity to expand our relationship with Storengy and with the GDF Suez Group as they grow their international storage portfolio in an expanding market.”
