New Community Heating System with PPSL

Advantex have recently completed works to support a new heating system at Gateshead Energy Company which is owned by Gateshead Council. We have provided new fibre optic cable, control cabinets and network infrastructure services to PPSL District Heating to help them monitor their system.

The instillation covers a 4 km stretch of the Felling bypass, designed to provide cleaner heating to local businesses and hundreds of new homes in Gateshead over the next few years.

The contract is part of an investment programme to provide a fast, secure and reliable connection between the water pump, local energy centre and each building connected to a new network that controls and monitors the whole system.
