Costain Group, which provides engineering consultancy, construction and maintenance services, has landed a contract with Centrica Energy for the provision of Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) services on its Barrow Gas Terminals Project.The deal follows the Front End Engineering Design review of the Barrow onshore terminals already provided by Costain.The project represents a total investment of £84m by Centrica Energy. Andrew Wyllie, the Chief Executive of Costain, said: "The Barrow Gas Terminals provide enough gas to meet the demand for 1.5m homes in the UK and are key to securing the nation's future energy needs. "Having previously provided Centrica Energy with front end consultancy for the terminals project, we are now delighted to build on our five-year collaboration with the company with this further contract."At the site, gas is processed from the North and South Morecambe and surrounding fields in the East Irish Sea. The terminals project, which is scheduled to complete in the fourth quarter 2015, enables increased asset utilisation, provides compliance with future environmental requirements and supports field life extension within the East Irish Sea.NR
