Multi-utility infrastructure and services provider Fulcrum has secured a £1.6m contract with grain storage co-operative Camgrain to support the construction of a new more energy efficient cereal processing plant.The Sheffield-based company will design and lay a new 7km gas pipeline to help power the site near Kettering, which is set to support more energy efficient cereal drying and processing, and reduce the reliance on oil-fuelled processes.Due for completion in spring 2022, the pipeline will travel from the gas network to the site along a route that travels under two Network Rail bridges and crosses the A43.Fulcrum will include specialist directional drilling techniques as part of the excavation and installation process, designed to minimise disruption and be more environmentally considerate.The new facility will be located alongside Camgrain’s existing Advanced Processing Centre (APC) in Northamptonshire.
