Bierrum

Bierrum is a British civil engineering and construction company, that has built all of Britain's concrete cooling towers at the country's power stations since 1965.

[citation needed] During 1991, the company acquired rival firm Pendrich out of receivership, rescuing 30 jobs in the process.

[3][4] Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Bierrum introduced numerous means of improving safety for working at heights, including the Spider platform for the demolition of tall chimneys.

[5][6][7] In September 2003, the company ran out of money, its fiscal circumstances having been troubled by a downturn in the power sector, legal action, and difficulties related to a project in Turkey.

[12] From January 1957, the company was headquartered at 167 Imperial Drive in Rayners Lane, an office building which it built for its own use.
