AccreditedWe’re committed to quality.

We hold triple certification in quality standards and are committed to delivering the very highest standards of Quality, Environmental and Health & Safety Assurance. This commitment is demonstrated by our continued certification to OHSAS 18001 (Health & Safety Management), ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) standards.

The agnostic and rational analysis of technologies that Sgurr prepared helped us select the right technology and configuration for the project. In an industry where there is a trend to overpromise energy values, I am happy to say that the actual energy generation from our project is in fact inline and slightly higher than the theoretical one predicted by SgurrEnergy, shows that a pragmatic energy value SgurrEnergy utilized for designing and has now positioned our project as a better performing one
