INFRASTRUCTURE work by Robertson Civil Engineering (RCE) will start on site later this year to create the Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub, which is being delivered in a joint venture between bp and Aberdeen City Council.
The Hub will be a scalable green hydrogen production, storage and distribution facility in Aberdeen powered by renewable energy.
RCE revealed it will be undertaking construction activities for the civils works and structural infrastructure at the hydrogen hub site. The design phase of the work is currently underway, with RCE working with design partner Fairhurst in Edinburgh.
RCE will manage elements of the design, procurement, construction, installation, commissioning, initial energisation, and handover of the hydrogen production and refuelling station and associated infrastructure.
Martin Kiely, executive director, Robertson Civil Engineering, said, “We are pleased to be part of this innovative project and support bp and Aberdeen City Council’s impressive vision for the city’s future. The commitment to inclusive growth that supports the supply chain, skills development and wider community, very much mirrors the Robertson approach.”
Robertson is experienced in the sustainable energy sector, having completed the new Whitehillock Substation for Siemens Energy. The company was also responsible for the delivery of the modular energy centre at Aberdeen’s TECA, which included a hydrogen fuel cells programme to power buses as part of ACC’s integrated hydrogen transport project.
