Griffiths has been named as the preferred bidder for one of the main civil engineering and construction packages for the £1bn Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay scheme.
The £25m contract is to provide ancillary civil engineering for the project’s public realm works. The scope of works includes the breakwater surface, roads, slipways, utilities and landscaping.
The contract will be delivered by a local workforce and materials will also be sourced locally - Griffiths has already awarded a design engineering contract to Atkins’ Swansea office and a landscape architect contract to TACP of Cardiff.
Andrew McNaughton, Tidal Lagoon Power Director of Engineering & Construction, said:
“In delivering the early phase works for TLSB, Griffiths will take us a step closer to realising our vision. Their use of a local workforce and materials underlines our commitment to the community of Swansea.”
Commentring on the win, Martyn Evans, Griffiths Executive Director, said:
“We are delighted to be appointed by Tidal Lagoon Power to help deliver this exciting, innovative scheme, securing local jobs both now and in the future. This is a major contract for our business and the lagoon will be an iconic piece of infrastructure for Wales."
