Logic-i delight at Steel River project boost

A project management consultancy has been appointed to play a key role in an industrial regeneration scheme.

Yarm-headquartered Logic-i will oversee project management and planning for the recently formed Steel River Power project at Teesworks, which aims to expand the site’s private electricity network. 

Officials say the £100 million joint venture between Steel River Energy Limited and North West Electricity Networks (UK) Limited will “build, own and operate the largest private wire network in the UK”, providing long-term electrical utility infrastructure for Teesworks’ future developments.

And for the next three to five years, Logic-i will manage contract administration and delivery of the project.

Stephen Humble, director at Logic-i, said: “While we deliver projects globally, securing this contract has special significance as it enables us to contribute to a project of immense importance to Teesside and the wider North East. 

“This opportunity underscores our expertise in project management and represents a key milestone in our growth strategy. 

“We look forward to building a successful partnership and supporting the future of Teesworks here in our home region.”

Andy Laundon, operations director of Steel River Power Limited, added: “Given the immense scale of our capital programme, it is imperative that safe delivery of the expansion project is the overarching priority. 

“As such, we are delighted to have engaged Logic-i to oversee the contractual performance of the principal contractor and local sub-contractors. 

“Their proven track-record and expertise will be an asset to Steel River Power and to the facilitation of wider development on Teesworks, while maintaining alignment to Steel River Power’s principles of utilising local supply chain partners.”
