McDermott Group awarded £4 million district heating upgrade
Because of McDermott Group 125 additional homes, three local schools and Falkirk Council offices are all set to benefit from a newly announced £4 million project to extend an existing district heating system and create a private wire network at Callendar Park.
Falkirk Council has appointed specialist contractor McDermott Group to reconfigure and extend the existing district heating network which currently serves six tower blocks at Callendar Park. The upgrade will extend the network to a further three tower blocks while doubling its heat generation capacity from 3 to 6 Megawatts. Electricity generated from the plant will serve three local schools and nearby Falkirk Council offices at The Forum via a new private wire network.
