ECS Engineering Services has been appointed to complete upgrades and refurbishments to flood defences at Tillingham Barrier, which protects the historic coastal town of Rye in East Sussex.

As part of a total renovation of Keadby Pumping Station, ECS Engineering Services has replaced and uprated a large span automatic weed screen cleaner at the site to increase flood resilience for the Environment Agency.

Peakirk pumping station on the River Welland has received a full renovation from ECS Engineering Services, on behalf of the Environment Agency, which will significantly boost the effectiveness of flood defences in the area. Work carried out has included the refurbishment of the station’s pointing doors; the installation of an adjustable stoplog and automated weed screen; a renovation of the pumping station plus an inspection and overhaul of existing pumps on-site.

As part of the continued work on Colwick Sluice, ECS has been awarded a contract to repaint the structure on the River Trent to improve durability and reduce corrosion. The project forms part of a wider initiative conducted on behalf of the Environment Agency, with the aim of improving safety and operational efficiency at the installation.

The Environment Agency’s Candy Farm North and Candy Farm South pumping stations, near Doncaster, has employed ECS Engineering Services to replace its automated trash screen cleaner grab units.

  Structural steelwork is being provided by ECS Engineering to create a new pump hall and control room above the existing facilities at the Foss Barrier flood defence scheme in the centre of York. The work is part of a larger £17m project designed to improve the city’s flood defences.

  When three Archimedes screw pumps at the inlet of Severn Trent Water’s Mansfield Sewage Treatment Works required replacement, NMCNomenca contacted ECS Engineering Services to source and install new pumps. As the exclusive UK service agent for Landustrie Archimedes screw pumps, ECS was able to replace the screws to bolster the water treatment infrastructure at the site.

  Peakirk Pumping Station has benefitted from a comprehensive refurbishment of its mitre gates carried out by ECS Engineering Services. Appointed by the Environment Agency to complete the project, ECS was able to boost the flood defence capabilities of the station with uprated gates despite facing a number of challenges.

Extending its agreement with ECS Engineering Services for the supply, installation and repair of Archimedes screw pumps, Scottish Water is one of the largest operators of this type of equipment in the UK. The original Agreement was for one year and covered the supply of a complete service for screw pump provision, maintenance, repair and refurbishment, as does the extension.

After a year of sustained growth with larger contacts across all of the business areas, and several new framework awards, ECS Engineering Services returns to the Pump Centre Conference. Highlighting its extensive capabilities and the many reasons for its ongoing success, ECS Engineering will be on stand F38, and visitors to the Pump Centre Conference 2017 will be able to learn about a range of screw pump repair and replacement services, as well as general water control project solutions.

Awarded a contract by Scottish Canals, ECS Engineering Services has been given the job to replace four lock gates at Kytra Lock on the Caledonian Canal. One of most naturally appealing stops along this stretch of water, the work at Kytra constitutes part of a systematic replacement of infrastructure along waterways in Scotland.

Recognised for its exceptional level of service, ECS Engineering Services have been nominated in the Environmental Agency Project Excellence Awards 2017. The Nottinghamshire fabrication and water control experts have been shortlisted as part of the ‘Managing Health, Safety and Environmental Risk’ category, with the nomination awarded regarding a major pumping station upgrade the company carried out for the Environment Agency in Keadby, Lincolnshire.

Even though Christmas has been and gone, the season of sending letters to the North Pole has certainly passed, however ECS Engineering Services has received a postcard from the other end of the Earth. The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have extended warm thanks for its help with a massive project to relocate Halley VI Research Station 23km to a different part of the Brunt ice shelf, and for supplying high specification, bespoke steel fabrications over many years.

The Environment Agency has appointed ECS Engineering Services as a framework contractor responsible for delivering large MEICA maintenance contracts in the South East region. The award is the result of an open bidding process which invited organisations to apply for framework contracts for up to four years in duration.

Nine radial gates have been fabricated by ECS Engineering Services for use at the Environment Agency’s Romney Weir facility. Designed to operate on the weir for at least 60 years and minimise operating costs, the gates add to already extensive renovation work carried out in the area by ECS.

ECS Engineering Services has recently completed the installation of one of the country’s first adjustable stop logs at Peakirk Pumping Station. Located on the River Welland, ECS installed the stop log as part of an overhaul of the existing pumping station on behalf of the Environment Agency and Anglian Water. The new stop log will aid work in the area by offering a barrier to water flow while maintenance is carried out on certain facilities.

The contract to redevelop and refurbish the Environment Agency’s Peakirk Pumping Station, near Peterborough, at the junction of the Rivers Welland and Folly has been won by ECS Engineering Services. The aims of the project are to improve the whole drainage of the surrounding area and provide improved flood prevention capabilities.

The Environment Agency’s multi-million pound investment along the River Thames has been further upgraded by ECS Engineering Services with the installation of three stainless steel sluice gates and an eel pass at Caversham Lock.

The British Constructional Steelwork Association (BCSA) has registered ECS Engineering Services on ‘The Register of Qualified Steelwork Contractors Scheme (RQSC)’ as a professional and competent steel fabricator capable of delivering structural steel bridge projects with a value up to £3m.  

The refurbishment of Temple Lock on the River Thames has been completed by ECS Engineering Services, as part of the Environment Agency’s £1.3m investment. The project included replacement of the lock gate sluice valves, and timber fenders as well as installation of two new access ladders and refurbishment of the lock doors themselves.
