The five-year agreement was worth an initial £200 million to the alliance and involves CMDP working collaboratively with Southern Water and other delivery partners to bring together design, construction and commissioning expertise. The alliance has carried out a number of projects over the course of AMP6. CMDP is heading up a £22 million project to improve the quality of water at Southern's two water treatment works in Hastings, which has seen new filters installed at Established in 2008 for the sole purpose of providing mechanical, electrical and civil services to the water industry, Barhale Trant Utilities (BTU) secured a six-year repair and maintenance programme deal with Southern Water in 2009 and was then selected as a 'react and maintain operational partner' for the company's AMP6 programme.

Six granular activated carbon (GAC) vessels went online at Beauport in May 2018 while the four vessels at Brede were switched on in October. The alliance has also been responsible for enhancing Knighton Water Treatment Works on the Isle of Wight and Swalecliffe Water Treatment Works in Kent over the last couple of years, as well as working on Vines Cross Wastewater Treatment Works and maintenance and capital projects, covering water and wastewater non-infrastructure and infrastructure.

It will also see that the solids that are removed from the treatment process at the site go on to be used as a fuel for renewable energy. maintenance of key infrastructure assets, emergency response capability and the design and installation of high-technology process plant. BTU is a specialist in pumping station construction, maintenance, repair and refurbishment, and offers the full scoping, design and install of small domestic pumping stations and large terminal wastewater and storm water pumping stations, while BTU's reactive programme involves repairing a wide range of assets including pumps, gearboxes, biological filter beds and telemetry works.
