PJD and FMT collaborate on mechanical installation service

PJD and FMT are both responsible for installing and maintaining certain aspects of coal, gas, biomass, and waste-to-energy power plants across the UK and Europe.

PJD has typically been responsible for overseeing boilers that produce steam and drive an electricity-generating turbine. Meanwhile, FMT’s expertise lies with the shaftline that takes steam from the boiler and uses it to drive the turbine.

‘While both companies specialise in their respective areas, through combining our skills and experience we will be able to drive efficiencies, therefore reducing interface problems for the clients,’ said Nick Evans, PJD’s head of business development.

‘I think there is a gap in the market for someone who can provide a total mechanical installation service across the whole plant,’ he added.

The construction element of what both companies are trying to do in the UK will be branded under a new company called In2grated Installations (I2I).

Both PJD and FMT are currently bidding (under I2I) on six UK projects valued between £5m and £10m each that should come to fruition by the end of 2012.
