The Thames Water projects, awarded under the AMP7 framework, are both designed to increase the resiliency of the network in London and the South East.

First the team will be installing a new £33m pipeline in South London, in Thames Water’s Riverside Flow Monitoring Zone, which is required to meet an anticipated increase in demand due to several major housing developments in the surrounding area.

It has also signed a £31m contract to install a new 9km clean water pipeline connecting the Netley Water Treatment Works in the east of Guildford, Surrey with the main reservoir network to the west.

Finally, the Highways business has signed a £34m contract to redevelop the A629 route into central Halifax, including pedestrianising key access areas and re-routing access to the town’s railway station while removing traffic from the centre.
