Serco Awarded $323 Million Power Plant Construction Contract at Pituffik Space Base
August 22 2024 - 7:00AM
Serco Inc., a provider of professional, technology, engineering,
and management services, announced today that the Company has been
awarded a new contract to manage the facility repairs and upgrades
of the back-up electrical plant at the Pituffik Space Base (PSB),
in Greenland. The four-year contract has an estimated value of $323
million.
Pituffik Space Base (formerly known as Thule Air Base) supports
missile warning, missile defense, and space surveillance missions.
The base is locked by ice nine months out of the year, making
continuous and secure energy to the facility an essential priority.
Serco will be working on a tight schedule to build a temporary
backup power plant while a team of experts upgrades the current
backup plant.
“This contract award builds on Serco’s strong capabilities in
systems design and installation, as well as our exemplary past
performance on defense construction projects,” stated Tom Watson,
Serco’s Chief Executive Officer in North America. “Serco is proud
to have the opportunity to support this mission-critical
large-scale system upgrade project for the US Army Corps of
Engineers and US Space Force. We recognize the impact of our work
in ensuring mission critical readiness is maintained for this
pivotal location.”
In support of this contract, Serco has subcontracted with
Aarsleff, a local Danish construction engineering company. After
completion, the new alternate power plant will provide greater and
more stable electrical capacity to the DoD’s northernmost
installation. Serco has previously performed similar design and
installation work at Pituffik and for other DoD customers
