TSX, NYSE: STN
Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering,
has been selected to provide integrated design services for
Agratas, Tata Group’s global battery business, who are building a
battery cell manufacturing facility on the Gravity Smart Campus in
the United Kingdom (UK). The new advanced manufacturing facility,
comprising three separate buildings with associated ancillary
structures, will create up to 4,000 jobs on site over the lifespan
of the project and thousands more in the supply chain.
With innovative technologies and resource efficient processes,
the facility will produce high-quality, high-performance,
sustainable battery cells. The next generation of batteries will
support Britain’s energy transition and power hundreds of thousands
of electric vehicles. This is one of the most significant
manufacturing investments in the UK, and the factory will be one of
the largest of its kind in Europe.
“The Agratas facility will be pioneering in battery cell
production, addressing demand in the advanced manufacturing space
in the UK head-on, while benefiting productivity, the climate, and
the economy,” said Gord Johnston, president and chief executive
officer of Stantec. “Stantec has strong capabilities in the
advanced manufacturing space, and we look forward to working
closely with Agratas to provide our significant breadth and depth
of experience and support the successful completion of its
project.”
“We look forward to working with Stantec to design the UK’s
largest battery cell manufacturing facility. Using state-of-the-art
technology, our facility will power the transition to electric
mobility and clean energy storage,” said Joe Hibbert, vice
president of Capital Projects, Agratas. “Our partnership with
Stantec is the next step in our mission to deliver best-in-class
battery solutions for our global customers.”
Over the last 15 years, Stantec has been instrumental in paving
the way for the Gravity site to be selected as the UK home for
Agratas’ new manufacturing facility. The firm served as a strategic
advisor for the Gravity site, leading the Local Development Order
consenting process, making it an attractive inward investment
opportunity. Stantec has provided a variety of services including
engineering design, planning, environmental, technical services,
and project management at the site.
Providing integrated services Pairing global
expertise with extensive local knowledge, Stantec will provide
architecture, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, and
civil engineering services, as well as risk management, planning
compliance, BIM management, landscape architecture, and more. Drees
& Sommer, a key partner for Stantec, is providing clean
room/dry room design services while additional consultants will
provide fire protection engineering and building control
services.
