SES Engineering Services was selected by E.ON Connecting Energies to deliver MEP design and installation services for the largest trigeneration (CCHP) project undertaken by E.ON in the UK. The scheme involved the design, supply, and installation of new power, steam, low temperature hot water (LTHW), and chilled water generation plant at a major soft drink bottling facility in Rugby.
Acting as principal contractor, SES also oversaw building works and the integration of new services with the existing plant infrastructure. The project focused on delivering renewable power sources, including substantial high voltage (HV) upgrades and the replacement of a 60-year-old boiler system with a more efficient steam generation solution—all completed without disrupting live manufacturing operations.
The new energy centre is capable of generating over 9MWe of electricity and 34T of steam, significantly improving the site’s energy efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.
Trigeneration capability
Live site coordination
All works were delivered without interrupting bottling operations, ensuring business continuity throughout.
Digital & offsite innovation
SES applied advanced pre-construction engineering, digital modelling, and offsite manufacturing via Prism to streamline delivery and enhance quality.
Electrical resilience
Installation of RUPS (Rotary Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems ensures robust protection against voltage dips and sags, futureproofing the facility’s electrical infrastructure.
