EASYJET
In June 2016 Birtley Galvanizing were
approached by metal fabricator Rubb
to fulfil a project for Easyjet. Based at
Gatwick airport, Easyjet required the build
of a new service hangar to allow aircraft
to undergo maintenance in an controlled
environment while at the airport.
Birtley Galvanizing took the fabricated
frame of the building and put it through the
galvanizing process. This is the first hangar
of this type and Rubb expect Easyjet to see
an increased benefit in service schedules
and for more hangars of this type to be
built and deployed in airports around the
UK.
LYNEMOUTH BIOMASS PLANT
Birtley Groups Galvanizing division has
supplied a number of North East Fabricators
for the new Lynemouth Biomass project.
The old coal fired plant is being converted
into a Biomass fuelled power plant in order
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, thus
supporting the UK government’s climate
change targets. The biomass power
station is expected to produce 2.3TWh of
low carbon electricity that will be sufficient
to power approximately 700,000 homes
and is set for completion in early 2018.
