Morgan Sindall is helping improve bathing water quality in Scarborough 32 Leaders 2014 Key frameworks keep Morgan Sindall busy morgan sindall Corporation street, rugby, CV21 2dW T: 01788 534500 www.morgansindall.com the LeADeRS 2014 In 2013, Morgan Sindall's Water team continued its work to upgrade and enhance the UK's water networks with three key frameworks for Yorkshire Water, Severn Trent Water and Dwr Cymru Welsh Water. Projects include clean water and wastewater projects ranging in value from £5M to £50M. Current Yorkshire Water projects include the £14.6M project to upgrade Castleford WwTW; the £22M project to improve Bridlington's bathing water quality; and a similar project at Scarborough, worth around £26M. The team also completed a £10M resilience scheme on a number of Thames Water's WTWs. The frameworks for Yorkshire Water and Severn Trent Water have already been extended for AMP6, from 2015 – 2020. Morgan Sindall is also currently in the procurement process with a number of other potential customers for AMP6. The early procurement of some of the AMP6 frameworks has meant that Morgan Sindall is already collaboratively engaging with customers. This early contractor involvement not only enables the team to have the best solutions in place for when the projects actually begin on site but also helps navigate the cyclical nature of the AMP cycles by assisting in the distribution of orkstreams. Also, Morgan Sindall, as part of joint venture MVB, has now completed the primary tunnelling works on the Lee Tunnel project for Thames Water. Secondary lining works and the installation of pumps and associated equipment is now underway. The project is worth more than £208M to Morgan Sindall. When complete in 2015, the four-mile long tunnel will help prevent more than 16 million tonnes of sewage mixed with rainwater overflowing into the River Lee each year. Further investment will be made to secure, in joint venture, a contract within the Thames Tideway Tunnel project.
