Northumbrian Water AMP4Frameworks
In AMP 4 Northumbrian Water is delivering a £900 million programme of investment, with £600m of this delivered through supplier frameworks. MWH’s North East Business Unit has won three out of NWL’s six engineering consultancy frameworks awarded in this AMP and MWH’s construction company MWHC has been awarded one of the construction frameworks related to pumping stations. These frameworks cover work in both the North East, and in Essex and Suffolk. The treatment framework in the North East is both water and wastewater, whilst the Essex and Suffolk framework is clean water only.
In addition, MWH’s North East Business Unit is responsible for one of the three wastewater network frameworks, for the County Durham and Wearside area. All the frameworks covering the North East are run from MWH’s Newcastle office, whereas work for the Suffolk and Essex framework is carried out at MWH’s High Wycombe office, with management staff locally based in the client’s offices in Essex and Suffolk. The key drivers for NWL that MWH are seeking to deliver in this programme of work are the ‘3 Cs’:- consistency, certainty and competitiveness. Both treatment frameworks are predominantly maintenance schemes, often involving mechanical and electrical-based replacement work, but they also include major works such as the management of the up-rating of Abberton reservoir in Essex and the Advanced Digestion Facility at Bran Sands on Teesside. The Essex and Suffolk framework is limited to water treatment and major distribution networks, whereas in the North East works to wastewater treatment plants adds to this scope.
A number of projects undertaken in the networks framework including DG5 flooding projects and water quality projects contain regulatory drivers. The networks framework covers network schemes including DG5 flooding schemes, Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) projects, catchment studies, infrastructure work to meet population growth and some clean water studies. MWH is responsible for a broad spectrum of services in each framework. These include feasibility studies, option development and costing, detailed design work, project management, site supervision and commissioning management.
Summary
MWH people have worked hard to successfully deliver a range of projects. This has been achieved by making great efforts to fully understand the client’s exact requirements and constraints and tailoring MWH’s services to match these needs and expectations. Key to success has been having the right team, access to an unrivalled UK and global network of specialist knowledge, programmes and expertise, and a solution-focused culture. Maintaining effective working relations with a wide raft of stakeholders across the client
organisation and contractors has been key to ensuring buy-in to solutions that MWH has developed. As well seeking innovative solutions when possible, the MWH team has been equally rigorous in providing the right solution to much simpler projects within budget and on time.
