Silverdell takes £2.5m hit on Pembroke power station

7 Mar 13 Specialist environmental services contractor Silverdell has resolved its dispute with Canadian contract Shaw Group over payments for asbestos removal work at Pembroke power station.

In a statement this morning, Silverdell said: “The board has taken the decision to accept an offer of circa £1m as final settlement from Shaw Group on its 18 month final account negotiation on Pembroke Power Station, a contract secured in 2010.”

A one-off exceptional charge of £2.5m will be recorded in Silverdell’s first half results for 2013. Although underlying profit for 2013 will not be affected, net debt will be some £1m higher than previous expected as a result.

Shaw was taken over by Chicago Bridge last year for $3bn.
