ORE Catapult currently operate its test facilities in Blyth, Northumberland which test and validates new renewable technologies. Its Charles Parsons facility specialise in providing extensive test programmes across a wide variety of complex electrical transmission and distribution infrastructure, operated from UKAS-accredited laboratories. They work with clients on component development, materials selection, system certification, electrical grid integration and accelerated lifetime test programme delivery, improving reliability and ensuring complex multiple arrays and generation sources operate at optimum efficiency.
To improve the functionality and flexibility of the laboratories at the Charles Parsons facility, there is now a requirement for a new steel storage building to enable the current mezzanine test area, inside Charles Parsons itself, to be better utilised as a test laboratory.
To allow for flexibility in approach, ORE Catapult is prepared to consider tender responses for either one of the following Options:
Option 1: Design and construction of the steel storage building, (new or used will be considered as long as the used model is not too far removed from the specification), or
Option 2: Design and construction of both the steel storage building (new or used) and all the necessary civil works.
