22 August 2024
Serco has been awarded a new contract by US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to manage the modernisation of the back-up electrical plant at the US Space Force's Pituffik Space Base, in Greenland. The contract started in August 2024 and has an estimated value of around $320m (£250 million) over its four-year term.
Pituffik Space Base, which was formerly known as Thule Air Base, supports missile warning, missile defence, and space surveillance missions. Serco will oversee renovation of the alternate power plant enhancing the capacity and stability of the electrical network.
