Meet “Delilah” the 214ft high daffodil-inspired wind turbine installed by the Sirius Group for the Royal Mint to provide green energy and an iconic landmark at their Llantrisant coin production facility and new £7million visitor centre in South Wales.
Sirius provided a full design and build package to the Royal Mint with Sirius Environmental providing earthworks, civil engineering design and project management. Sirius Remediation undertook the earthworks, foundation, access and electrical installation works supported by APS Ltd – electrical sub-contractors for the Royal Mint.
The project was facilitated by our project partners Infinite Renewables who have been working with the Royal Mint on this project for a number of years.
Following the Government’s announcements and commitment to reduce road vehicle emissions and make transport cleaner, Sirius Planning have recently obtained planning permission for the installation of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) refuelling facilities in the East Riding of Yorkshire and South Derbyshire.
New, stand-alone vertical LNG storage tanks and dedicated dispenser pumps will be installed on existing refuelling stations, which will provide low carbon road transport fuel for medium and heavy goods vehicles under a commercial supply agreement.
Freight and logistics operators are increasingly moving their fleet vehicles from diesel to LNG and other biofuels, as the development of and use of LNG as a road transport fuel, provides substantial reduction in green-house gas emissions and climate change benefits through reductions in carbon, sulphur, particulate matter and nitrogen oxides; and reducing future oil dependence and energy scarcity provision.
These facilities form part of a wider programme by a global road fuel supplier to deploy a network of LNG refuelling stations across the UK, of which Sirius have been commissioned to provide planning consultancy services.
Construction of our largest wind turbine to date (1.5MW) is well underway! Having completed the initial piling works we have moved on to construction of the 18.5m diameter hexagonal reinforced concrete turbine base.
Sirius Planning is delighted to announce a successful result for our clients at SBC Renewables, securing planning permission for their new 5MW solar farm at Moneystone Quarry near Cheadle in Staffordshire.
We were delighted to be asked to support our valued clients at First Renewable Developments with their planning application for a 5 MW solar farm at Harworth Estates Kellingley Colliery near Castleford.
