The U.K. water industry is going through a major change in focus that will have a significant impact on water companies and the supply chain. It is now almost 25 years since the water industry was privatised and in that time more than £100bn has been spent on upgrades, with much of that money going on capital investment.
In the next U.K. Water Asset Management Plan for 2015-2020 (AMP6) it will be increasingly important to work with all project stakeholders to identify joint solutions that really meet the underlying customer need. The emphasis will be on outcomes rather than outputs in the form of major capital works.
Malcolm Eddleston talks to Ground Engineering Magazine about this in his article Collaboration is the key to breaking new ground in the water industry, according to Malcolm Eddleston.
