Beckton CHiP

When the Beckton Combined Heat and Intelligent Power Plant (CHiP) was under construction in 2013, px Group was awarded a long term contract to operate and maintain the Beckton CHIP site on behalf of owners Beckton Energy Limited (BEL). We also provided technical assistance in plant design, support during factory and site acceptance testing, and HAZOP and functional safety system development and compliance.

Our full-time O&M team developed the site’s operating procedures and risk assessments, and undertook safety and equipment training to enable the safe and efficient operation of the plant.
