MWH has been awarded one of two positions on a five year program of work for South East Water, one of the largest metropolitan water authorities in Victoria, Australia.
In a joint venture with Comdain Infrastructure and Downer EDI, known as Lean Design & Construction (LD&C), MWH will work to design and construct upgrades to some of South East Water’s major infrastructure.
The program will deliver approximately $400 million in capital works, with a focus on designing and constructing trunk sewer mains, water distribution mains, recycled water mains, water and sewage pump stations, reservoirs and contingency tanks and minor sewer treatment plant upgrades.
Starting this month, the program will continue through until June 2018, with a possible two year extension.
MWH and East Gippsland Water
MWH has been selected by East Gippsland Water to provide the bulk of its engineering services for the delivery of its five year Water Plan 3 capital works delivery program.
The initial three year performance-based consultancy services agreement has just started (November 2013), with a possible two year extension period.
MWH will establish a local presence in the city of Bairnsdale, East Gippsland, Victoria bringing its world-wide expertise in the water and wastewater industry to partner with and assist local companies in the delivery services.
MWH Australia manager of business development and strategy, Peter Robinson, said, “This is an exciting opportunity for MWH to work closely with a new client to provide an efficient service delivery model while also bringing our global network expertise to the East Gippsland region.”
East Gippsland Waters managing director, Bruce Hammond, said, “We need to ensure that we continue to offer best value to our customers, in light of very tight economic parameters set by the water industry’s economic regulator, the Essential Services Commission.
