Sir Robert McAlpine were constructing the Materials Handling Facility at the plant in Northumberland. CSC Services installed protective coatings to the new rail offload areas which will receive over one million tonnes of imported wooden pellets each year which will power the new plant.
With enhanced chemical and abrasion resistance the Flexcrete coating will guarantee the life-span of the steelwork at the plant for twenty years.
Work on the project was scheduled around construction on the site.
Images of the work are shown below.
