Made in GB: The Companies Behind Swansea Greener Grid Park
A single project in development can employ people from all over Great Britain. From digital innovators to engineers, and logistics experts, local companies are helping us to bring clean energy infrastructure to life.
At Statkraft’s Swansea Greener Grid Park, a project bringing greater stability to the grid, companies from the Highlands to Kent are playing an important role in its delivery.
3DW
3DW creates interactive 3D models, from fly-throughs to exhibition visuals, helping to bring renewable projects such as Swansea Greener Grid Park to life for developers and communities. Based in Greater Manchester, 3DW’s portfolio once included transport and other sectors, the firm has pivoted mainly toward renewables, drawn by the sector’s rapid expansion and the unique value its models offer.
They have expanded their business, seeing more complex and ambitious projects coming to them, bringing together coders, designers, project managers, and marketers to tackle ever-larger and more complex assignments as the country’s renewables commitment accelerates.
Allelys
Allelys specialises in transporting the heavy equipment needed to build large scale energy infrastructure. From transformers to stabiliser machines, their work ensures complex equipment reaches site safely and efficiently.
For Swansea GGP they were responsible for transporting three transformers from the port of Swansea to site, and six rotating stabilisers over 165 miles from Rugby. Allelys now employs 210 people, having seen how the UK’s transition to renewables has increased demand on their services.
Denco Fluid Systems
West-Midlands based Denco manufactures critical cooling and filtration, and software control systems to keep grid infrastructure running efficiently. The growth in renewable development has seen Denco expand its factory facilities and its team to nearly 90 employees, sustaining jobs and skills.
Denco has a proud commitment to local sourcing, and for Swansea Greener Grid Park, the equipment, materials and staff were all sourced just hours from the site.
