The Teesside Gasport project was a landmark project in the UK’s energy infrastructure, enabling the importation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) via the River Tees. Delivered as part of a fast-track programme for Excelerate Energy, it required precision engineering and reliable delivery to meet strict operational deadlines.
Stockton Group was contracted to deliver a 1km Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) river crossing for a high-pressure gas pipeline, alongside associated fibre optic control systems, as a critical path element of the wider Gasport development.
The Shapinsay subsea pipeline project in the Orkney Islands represents a critical infrastructure upgrade aimed at providing a reliable, long-term water supply to one of Scotland’s remote island communities.
Delivered for Scottish Water, the scheme involved installing a subsea pipeline between mainland Orkney and the island of Shapinsay, ensuring a secure and improved water source following declining water quality on the island.
At just under 2km in length, the crossing is believed to be the longest land-to-land, subsea, directionally drilled utility pipeline in the UK.
Stockton Group was brought in use our drilling expertise to work through difficult geological conditions, while meeting the challenges of working in a remote environment.
The Tolmount gas field is a natural gas reservoir and production facility located in the UK sector of the southern North Sea, approximately 36 km east of Flamborough Head, Yorkshire. The Easington Gas Terminal is a crucial onshore processing facility that receives, processes, and exports natural gas from North Sea fields including Tolmount.
Stockton Group was contracted by energy and offshore engineering leader Saipem to carry out the onshore and intertidal works for the Tolmount Area Development Project, with a gas pipeline installation from the offshore field to the tie-in point within the Easington Gas Terminal.
