Major US Contract Award
Keller Group plc ("the Keller Group"), the international ground
engineering specialist, announces that it has been awarded a
contract worth approximately US$41m (GBP26m) to construct piles for
a transmission line project in New Jersey.
The North Central Reliability Project covers a section of
transmission line which is more than 50 years old and requires not
only replacement, but also upgrading to carry higher voltage.
Two Keller Group companies, Case Foundation and McKinney
Drilling, will install drilled shaft foundations for new monopole
towers to replace the old lattice towers.
This critical line can only be taken out of service for brief
intervals and, to minimise the outage, the foundations will be
installed beneath the existing transmission wires, for which our
equipment has been specially configured.
Approximately two thirds of our work is expected to be completed
this year.
Justin Atkinson, Keller Chief Executive, commented:
"We are delighted to have been selected by Public Service
Electric & Gas to work on this important project. This upgrade
is one of many major US transmission line projects either in
planning or currently underway, which are helping to support the
recovery in US construction markets.
"The recent awards of this and other power-related work in the
US demonstrate excellent progress against our objective of growing
our market share in this vibrant sector."
