ATG Services, the Coleraine site remediation
specialist, has won a £300,000 contract central Glasgow.
The contract is the latest in a series
of business successes in Great Britain and the Republic of
Ireland for the company, which has been assisted by Invest
Northern Ireland.
ATG
is clearing a contaminated site for a new Sikh Temple, at
Glasgow’s Berkeley Street, with main contractor T&A Kernoghan,
headquartered at Mallusk, Co Antrim. The overall client is
the Gurdwara Singh Sabha, which is developing a new temple
for almost 2,000 worshippers. ATG is responsible for the clearing
and grading of contamination at the site for the construction
project that also includes extensive underground car parking.
The contract was announced by Dr
Mark McKinney, ATG’s Managing Director and welcomed by Des
Gartland, Invest NI’s North West Regional Office Manager,
during a visit to the company’s offices in Loughanhill Industrial
Estate, Coleraine.
Dr McKinney said - “We are experiencing
a significant growth in demand for our expertise from a very
broad range of clients. As a result of this, our turnover
has doubled over the past year and business outside Northern
Ireland now accounts for almost 30 per cent of sales.
“The contract at the Sikh temple
in Glasgow is an excellent example of our expertise in land
remediation services. Increasingly, companies and developers
are turning to us for help in developing solutions that avoid
the high cost of disposing waste at landfill sites. What we
offer is a complete brownfield land decontamination service
that involves the re-grading of waste for recycling and other
uses such as road construction projects.
“The Glasgow project is particularly
challenging because it is on a compact site adjacent to an
existing small Temple, a primary School and the home of the
Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO) and involves very
substantial underground work. We’ve been liaising closely
with the Sikh community on the project, as well as Glasgow
City Council, Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA)
and the musical director of the RSNO."
