The Institution of Mechanical Engineers Devon & Cornwall Area Committee would like to invite you to a technical visit of Langage Power Station. This two part event will start with a presentation about the company, followed by a tour of Langage Power Station with Centrica Engineers.

Centrica own a fleet of gas-fired power stations across the UK. The latest, completed in 2010, is at Langage, Plymouth in Devon. Rated at 895MW, it is one of the most efficient generators of its type in the world. The £400 million investment fills an expected energy gap in the UK generating capacity, caused by the expected closure of nuclear and older coal-fired stations.

Personnel Protective Equipment such as high vis and hard hats will be supplied but as a minimum please ensure you wear stout footwear.

Please book a ticket using the link above. A ticket is required to attend this event. This event is open to members and non-members of the IMechE.

We hope that this visit will capture people’s imagination and inspire you to support the activities of the IMechE by supporting our committee. If you believe that this event will be of interest to your friends, family or colleagues please invite them along (remember to ask them to book their own tickets). This FREE event is open to members, non-members and the general public.

The committee seeks to bring together aspiring, developing, and experienced engineers, and members of the general public to promote the benefits and achievements of the engineering profession.

The newly formed Devon & Cornwall branch will organise a wide portfolio of events and activities, most of which will be open to the general public and free to attend.  These will include evening lectures for general interest; technical visits to local engineering firms; social and professional networking events; engineering competitions; and mentoring opportunities for local students and professional engineers.

In addition, the committee will engage with local schools to support the teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects and offer careers advice to young students.
