Interserve was thrown off the job by project client Viridor in November 2016, having failed to complete on time or in budget.
Doosan Babcock is now finalising an assessment and project plan at the site in Polmadie as the replacement engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor.
“They have been chosen for their experience in delivering large capital projects in the energy and power space,” said Viridor parent company, Pennon. “This follows the decision to terminate the EPC contract with Interserve due to repeated delays in the completion of GRREC, for which Viridor has contractual remedies. The client, Glasgow City Council, has been consulted throughout this period of change, and is supportive of Viridor's actions and the revised plan for completion.”
Interserve was supposed to complete its £146m contract for Viridor in March 2016, after a three-year programme, but subsequently acknowledged it would not be able to meet a revised completion date of March 2017.
In May 2016 Interserve issued a statement conceding £70m of cost overruns and delays on the project.
