TECHNICA GET FIT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT 225 225 Technica Ltd

TECHNICA GET FIT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

At Technica we are committed to minimising the environmental impact of our operations and what better way to do this that by encouraging our employees to be more active at the same time.

To do this, we have teamed up with Climategames (www.climategames.com), an event and challenge-based app converting health and fitness activities into positive climate action.

The more that our employees run, walk, swim or cycle, the bigger the environmental impact we are able to make.  Climategames fund amazing causes such as planting trees, protecting peatlands, removing plastic from our oceans and sequestering methane and other greenhouse gas emissions as well as providing critical support to humanitarian projects.

Technica have committed to funding 2000 trees, removing 5 tonnes of C02 and 5kg of plastic within a year.

Our June challenge planted 23 trees.

Health and fitness is so important for organisations and provides many benefits for both employees and the employer with an increasing number of people using exercise as a primary means of stress relief and regular exercise leading to less sickness / absence and a generally providing a happier workforce.

The challenge for July is to focus on removing plastic from the oceans and waterways.

Plastic can cause great implications to marine ecosystems, marine health and potentially poses a risk to human health.  A single plastic bag is equivalent to 10g of plastic and one 500ml plastic bottle is equivalent to 20g. This means Technica has committed to removing the weight of 250 plastic bottles.

Eleven days into July, our team has already run 106km, cycled 365km, completed 1.2km in the pool and walked a tremendous 317km removing 1.9 kg of plastic so far.

Chairman of Technica and active ‘Climategamer’ John Davison said “Technica are excited to be able to participate in this great initiative which encourages our employees to live a more active lifestyle whilst cleaning up the environment”.   He continued “We have a range of fitness levels within the business, from ultra marathon runners to people who enjoy a sociable walk and the beauty of Climategames is that every single minute or meter of exercise contributes to this worthwhile cause”.

Technica will continue to post updates of our climate challenge via our website at www.technicaltd.com or via our Linkedin profile.

TECHNICA SIGNS AGREEMENT TO DEVELOP NOVEL WIND TURBINE 1024 679 Technica Ltd

TECHNICA SIGNS AGREEMENT TO DEVELOP NOVEL WIND TURBINE

Grimsby based engineering solutions provider Technica has signed a memorandum of understanding with Liverpool based inventor and engineer David Gilhooley.  The agreement will see Technica support David with the development and marketing of his novel wind turbine DAVE (Dynamic Aero Variable Enclosure).

A prototype turbine is now at the Technica office in Grimsby where their engineering team will establish the capability to mass manufacture the product as well as maximise the power output from the unit.

The DAVE turbine is a lightweight, potentially low-cost solution which is designed to be mounted in a number of scenarios including on top of commercial properties.  The solution is scalable allowing the low-profile turbine to be ‘stacked’ offering the end user a range of generation outputs.

This is the second such agreement signed by Technica as they continue to identify opportunities to provide novel technologies to the renewable energy sector.

Managing Director of Technica, Richard Law commented “We are excited to be partnering with David at the early stages of his development of the DAVE turbine and we look forward to exploring the capability of this technology”.  He continued “It is clear that technology such as vertical axis wind turbines can play an important role in the push for a de-carbonised energy future and we hope that we can assist David with bringing his solution to market”.

“Stacking wind turbines is a unique and liberating idea” said engineer, David Gilhooley. “The key to the concept is to find the right balance between size and output, with the units being supported on a single central column”. David also highlighted the advantages of having multiple turbines that can be used in a wide variety of applications and locations, reducing the need for acquiring more land and Planning Permission – an attractive proposition.

Since incorporation almost 20 years ago, Technica has continued to provide engineering services to the UK and international energy sectors.  They have the capability to support clients with multi-disciplinary FEED, detailed design, construction and service and maintenance support.  They are an experienced EPC contractor and through their project delivery team, have successfully and safely delivered complex projects for a large number of energy and industrial customers.
