At Oldham Engineering, we are proud to play our part in strengthening the backbone of modern power systems. With over 160 years of experience behind us, our continued commitment to innovation, quality and reliability positions us uniquely to support the critical demands of gas fired power generation.
Why Gas Fired Power Generation Matters Today
Gas fired power generation continues to be a cornerstone of the UK’s energy mix, offering flexibility, responsiveness to demand swings and lower carbon emissions than certain other fossil fuels. As wind and solar power scale up, gas plants often fill in gaps when intermittent renewables are offline, ensuring continuity of supply to homes, businesses and critical infrastructure.
Our Capabilities in Support of Gas Fired Power Plants
At Oldham Engineering, we bring a fully integrated suite of services to the power generation sector. Our expertise encompasses heavy and light machining, bespoke fabrication, complex assemblies and turnkey projects. We are also ISO 9001 certified and our in-house operations spread across 150,000 sq ft, giving us the control and traceability that’s essential for critical systems.
We routinely deliver intricate, high-integrity parts for gas turbines, heat recovery steam generators, piping systems and structural supports. Whether fabricating pressure vessels, machining rotor or stator components or assembling large modules ready for site installation, we apply rigorous quality standards rooted in decades of industrial practice.
Reliability, Safety and Sustainability at Our Core
Gas fired power generation may demand robust performance under high temperature, pressure and cyclic stresses. That is why safety, quality assurance and material integrity are non-negotiable. Our workflows are governed by strict health, safety and environmental protocols and we are certified to welding standards such as AWS D1.1 and BS EN ISO 15614. Our workforce is trained to uphold the same excellence that has underpinned our reputation for generations.
We are also mindful of sustainability priorities. Through optimized design, precision manufacturing and efficient fabrication practices, we help reduce waste, extend component lifetime and lower the carbon footprint of plant maintenance and upgrades. Our environmental policies ensure we manage energy consumption, emissions and materials responsibly.
Looking Ahead: Partnering for the Energy Transition
As the UK accelerates toward net zero, gas fired power generation is becoming a vital bridge to cleaner technologies. We at Oldham Engineering see opportunity in this transition. When you choose us at Oldham Engineering for your gas fired power generation projects, you’re partnering with a team that takes your performance, safety and sustainability as seriously as you do.
