Shepherd Engineering Services has won the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing package on the new £1.4bn Queensferry Crossing over the Firth of Forth in Scotland.
The two-year contract will see Shepherd deliver MEP systems for the bridge’s North and South approach sections, the central cable stayed bridge, its three towers and abutment buildings.
One of the most technically challenging elements of the project will see Shepherd deliver its largest ever pre-fabrication installation to date – installing and securing 120 prebuilt road deck sections.
These fully-formed modules will be developed at a specially created off-site manufacturing hub in Rosyth.
It will be the first time the firm’s pre-fabrication factory Shepherd PRISM has designed and engineered modules away from its Yorkshire base.
Shepherd Engineering Services Regional Director for Scotland, Colin Walker, said: “The development of our unique off-site Shepherd PRISM pre-fabrication facility illustrates our commitment to innovation and smart thinking.
“Not only will our team of experts be able to maximise efficiencies by creating the bridge modules off-site, we will significantly contribute to a reduction in the project’s logistical and on-site health and safety risks.”
