Balfour Beatty, the international infrastructure group, today announces that it has been awarded approximately £115 million of work by Anglian Water as part of its £1.3 billion investment during Asset Management Plan 6 (AMP6) – the next water industry regulatory period.
The contract is for the entire five-year regulatory period, from 2015 to 2020, with extensions which could take it to 2030, making it one of the longest collaborations in the sector. It will operate within a new alliance of delivery partners being set up by Anglian Water.
In this new Alliance, Balfour Beatty will be providing both design and construction services across the whole of Anglian Water’s region, which is the largest by geographic area in the UK, stretching from the Humber to the Thames estuary and from Buckinghamshire to the East Coast. Work will mainly be focussed on clean water infrastructure (water mains), but will also include wastewater pipes and non-infrastructure projects, such as treatment works. The contract will be based from an integrated office at Peterborough.
Balfour Beatty has been a member of Anglian Water’s @one Alliance since 2004, delivering a number of major water projects. In the current AMP period, which began in 2010, this includes a total of 213 schemes with a combined value of £81 million.
Andrew McNaughton, Balfour Beatty CEO, commented:
“We are delighted to be continuing our long and successful relationship with Anglian Water. We are committed to working with Anglian Water and our Alliance partners to deliver a number of key outcomes including 100% customer satisfaction, 50% reduction in site based construction time and zero harm for our people.
“Long-term alliances help to maximise efficiency through collaborative working, and we are looking forward to helping Anglian Water outperform its AMP6 business plan.”
