Energetics sparked by £1m Taylor Wimpey contract

MIDLAND-based electrical contractor Energetics has secured a £1m contract to design, build and connect the electricity, gas and water utility mains and service connections for a new residential development.

The Coleshill firm has been awarded the contract by housebuilder Taylor Wimpey for its site at Tansey Green.

The contract will see Energetics provide the energy infrastructure and multi-utility connections to more than 300 new homes.  The connections firm will also design and build one new substation and one gas governor in support of the utility requirements for phase two of the development.  

The three-year project will be serviced from the Energetics Midlands depot in Coleshill with work set to start this summer.

Ray Williams, Sales and Marketing Manager for Energetics, said: “Tansey Green forms part of a huge residential project set to get underway in the West Midlands and we are really excited to be involved. Offering complete multi-utility services, with a fully inclusive water package, met all the requirements of Taylor Wimpey.”

Project managers and engineers are working with Taylor Wimpey to ensure critical deadlines are met, from completion of site remediation works to connection of the show home.

“This is one of the biggest contract wins to date for Energetics Midlands since we moved to our new, larger more centralised location in Coleshill.  The motivation behind the move was to help serve our Midlands based customers’ utility connection needs better and this award win is proof that the correct decision was made,” added Mr Williams.

Energetics, which is working on the electrical infrastructure at the New Street Gateway project, has also been appointed to design and construct an electricity substation and a gas governor at the Akron Gate site in Wolverhampton, which is a joint venture between housebuilder Persimmon and St. Modwen.
