ARCADIS helps TenneT renew and reinforce its European high voltage power networks
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
October 17, 2014 - ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the world's leading natural and
built asset design and consultancy firm, announced today that it has been
selected as a preferred supplier to provide engineering services for TenneT, a
leading European electricity transmission system operator. As preferred
supplier, ARCADIS will participate in two framework agreements for a period of
three years (with a possible 2 times 2 years extension). One contract is valued
at ?26 million and the other ?13 million. ARCADIS will share each contract with
two other firms.
Between now and 2023, TenneT will roll out an extensive investment program in
the Netherlands. Engineering will be a meaningful part of this investment and
will include technical studies and designs needed to maintain and adjust the
high voltage power distribution base stations, power lines and support systems,
with the exception of the IT component. ARCADIS will provide system and back-up
system design capabilities, telecommunications expertise, electromagnetic pulse
and grounding know-how to ensure safety, as well as construction design and
supervision, and quality control services. In addition, ARCADIS could become
involved in related activities, such as permitting, planning and geotechnical
services.
"Through this project we support TenneT in ensuring the continued delivery of
high voltage power to their clients in Europe. Uninterrupted service is
particularly critical with the rising number of load changes as more and more
wind parks, solar installations and other renewable energy sources are linked to
the grid. Our geographical presence and consistent high quality delivery were
key points for the client in selecting us" said Stephan Ritter, the Executive
Board member for ARCADIS responsible for its European activities.
