As part of Thames Water’s overall £5 billion investment, Grontmij is one of a number of suppliers and contractors selected for the £95m programme of work for AMP5, providing a programme management office and acting as project manager for the regional SCADA and site SCADA projects.
Work includes the migration of three separate regional systems into a single new central system, the replacement of up to 89 site SCADA systems across a range of different types and sizes of facility, as well as specialist technical and asset management support.

The initial appointment by Thames Water is for two years and will comprise a combined Grontmij Mace team based in Thames’ Reading offices, peaking at around 20 employees, with Grontmij providing two thirds of the team.
