Kent secures role in compressor station project 20 March 2025
Kent, a company specialising in engineering and project delivery, is to support the construction of the Wormington Compressor Station on behalf of United Living Infrastructure Services (ULIS).
The Wormington Compressor Station is a node in the National Transmission System (NTS) operated by National Gas, connecting gas import terminals in South Wales with the NTS and South West England. As part of the Medium Plant Combustion Directive (MCPD), the project will reduce emissions and improve efficiency by installing a new 15MW gas turbine-driven compressor train on greenfield land. The existing Rolls Royce Avon-driven compressor will be retained for reserve use during peak demand and maintenance.
Usman Darr, managing director of engineering at Kent UK, said: “We are proud to continue our front-end and asset health work for National Gas on other compressor stations and to be working with United Living on this crucial project that supports the UK's sustainability and energy security objectives. Our expertise in engineering and energy transition solutions will ensure that Wormington Compressor Station is future-proofed with efficient, lower-emission infrastructure.”
As the Engineering design and project execution partner, Kent will bring its knowledge and capabilities in energy infrastructure, ensuring a sustainable execution of the project. By leveraging engineering solutions, Kent will support the design and construction phases to deliver a future-proofed facility that aligns with the UK’s evolving energy landscape.
