PTSG Goes To Work At Energy From Waste Facility
French‑based specialist company TIRU has been commissioned to build and operate Scotland’s new £70 million Energy from Waste (EfW) facility at Binn Eco Park near Perth. The 8 MW facility will handle up to 85,000 tonnes each year.
It will create more than 200 jobs during the construction phase and 30 long‑term skilled posts once operational, possibly by late 2024.
Binn Group, one of the country’s largest independent resource management operators, will act as primary feedstock suppliers for the plant which will be developed as part of the 200‑acre Binn Eco Park site where a variety of low‑carbon energy solutions are being developed including EfW, wind and solar power.
In this contract, engineers from PTSG Electrical Services Ltd will supply, install, test and commission a new power earthing system for at the facility for main contractor CIDON. A power earthing system is the creation of an alternative path for the flow or fault or excessive currents safely to ground. It is an integral part of any electrical system and essential in keeping both people and equipment safe.
