Costain, the infrastructure solutions company, has secured a multimillion-pound engineering services contract with INEOS FPS, marking a significant extension of their long-standing partnership at the Kinneil Terminal.
The contract, which covers a minimum three-year period, will see Costain deploy its extensive engineering expertise to support the optimisation and utilisation of operations at the Kinneil Terminal, a critical component of the UK’s energy infrastructure.
The agreement builds upon an established relationship between the two companies, with Costain having provided end-to-end engineering services at the Kinneil Terminal for more than ten years. Since 2014, the infrastructure solutions company has delivered multidisciplinary front-end studies through to detailed design engineering and procurement services for both onshore and offshore assets at the facility.
Costain will service the contract from its new Aberdeen office, where the company continues to serve a growing customer base in the energy sector across Scotland and the broader UK market.
Sean Close, Costain’s energy resilience director, emphasised the critical nature of the infrastructure involved and the company’s commitment to enhancing its performance. “We’ll use our engineering expertise and long record of predictable best-in-class delivery to optimise the performance of Kinneil Terminal,” Close stated. “This is critical national infrastructure, and our work will build vital resilience into the UK’s energy system with a safer, more efficient and more reliable terminal.”
Close highlighted the strategic significance of the contract within the context of Costain’s regional expansion. “With our strong and growing presence in the region, this contract marks the next chapter in our productive and collaborative relationship with INEOS FPS,” he added.
Costain’s energy sector division focuses on delivering innovation, engineering and construction excellence to address complex challenges facing the UK’s energy infrastructure. The company has established a strong track record of delivering infrastructure solutions in Scotland, encompassing front-end studies, asset maintenance, and engineering, procurement and construction contracts.
The company’s Scottish portfolio also includes providing technical consultancy services to Storegga (formerly Pale Blue Dot Energy) in support of the Acorn carbon capture and storage project, demonstrating its involvement in next-generation energy technologies.
