Synectics wins security contract for new UK power station

Synectics’ Integration and Managed Services division has won a major contract with a new UK power station.

The AIM-listed surveillance technology and security system company said it designed and installed a complex integrated security and safety system for the station.

The deal, which is worth just under £1m, includes a two-year maintenance agreement and has the potential for further work to follow.

The work will be delivered in this financial year, with the power station scheduled for completion in 2016.

Chief executive Paul Webb said power stations are unique security environments with rigorous requirements.

“Synectics is already well established in the power generation sector and understands the challenges of providing security in these specialist environments.

“Our IMS division is focussed on continuing this momentum and securing further growth from commercial, high security and infrastructure opportunities."
