Fuelling Sustainability in Drax's Carbon Reduction Journey

Case Study

We have supported Drax for the last seven years in its goal to reduce carbon emissions. In March 2015, we were awarded a five-year contract to continue fuel testing and analysis work at its power generating plant.

Environmental Awareness Training Course

Training

From turning off lights when we leave a room to choosing energy efficient appliances, there are many simple changes that we can make to our lifestyle to ensure we are acting in an environmentally conscious way, many of which are covered in the Environmental Awareness training course.

Support through the whole Asset Lifecycle

Technical Review and Recommendations

We explore all possible avenues before providing you with technically accurate recommendations. This ensures that your entire project life cycle is supported, guaranteeing the safety, compliance and optimisation of your renewable energy resource.

Site Investigation Services

Our expertise extends to site investigation services where we delve into ground, geological, and structural conditions. By conducting thorough tests and analyses, we ensure you're fully informed during the design stage of your project, allowing for informed decision-making and risk mitigation.

Project Management and Compliance

Once your energy resource is operational, we offer comprehensive project management services to ensure ongoing compliance. Moreover, we're dedicated to optimising your resource for optimal environmental performance while minimising associated risks, ensuring sustainable operation for the long term.

Pre-Demolition Site Analysis

Before any demolition works commence, we're equipped to support your project by conducting a detailed site investigation. This analysis provides crucial insights into the condition of the site, enabling you to proceed with demolition activities confidently and efficiently.

How do you measure renewable energy?

Measuring renewable energy involves assessing its generation capacity, actual energy production, economic viability, environmental impact, operational efficiency, and compliance with regulatory standards. It includes evaluating factors such as installed capacity, energy output in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or megawatt-hours (MWh), and considering the system's reliability and integration with existing grids.

How does energy testing work?

Energy testing involves evaluating energy systems to ensure they operate efficiently and safely. This includes measuring performance metrics like power output and efficiency, assessing environmental impacts, checking safety compliance, analysing data, and providing recommendations for optimisation.

How can we support decommissioning of renewable energy projects?

We support decommissioning of renewable energy projects through thorough site investigations, ensuring regulatory compliance, managing project logistics, assessing environmental impacts, prioritising health and safety, and providing recommendations for optimising the process and future site use.

How can we help in the construction phase of renewable energy projects?

We assist in the construction phase of renewable energy projects by conducting thorough site investigations, ensuring compliance with regulations, providing technical expertise for optimisation, overseeing quality control, and managing environmental impacts.
