National Grid plans to invest up to £26bn between now and 2021 upgrading and developing gas and electricity networks.
The frameworks will see Costain deliver a full programme of services including front-end engineering design, programme management, construction and asset optimisation.
Three frameworks
Civil Works For Underground Cables: Costain has secured one of six places on this £500m framework for design, programme management and construction services over the next four years.
New Overhead Lines: Costain has, in joint venture, secured one of seven places for an initial four years with the potential to extend for a further four-year period.
Upgrade of UK’s Gas Transmission System: Costain has secured one of four places on the framework to provide front end engineering and design and an initial contract to upgrade compressor stations at Huntingdon and Peterborough.
By securing a place on both electricity frameworks, Costain is now in a position to deliver end-to-end network solutions which will form an important part of upgrading the national infrastructure to support connection of low carbon generation and the UK’s future energy needs.
Andrew Wyllie, Chief Executive of Costain, said: “The awards also reflect the ongoing broadening of our service offering, in which we form long-term, strategic partnerships with our customers to deliver an increasingly multidisciplinary range of services across the full life cycle of their assets.”
