Birmingham based Doosan Enpure has been confirmed as the main contractor for a £50 million replacement of the Bellozanne sewage treatment works (STW) in St Helier, which serves the Island of Jersey and is operated by States of Jersey Transport and Technical Services (T&TS).
The need to replace the existing STW, which has been operational for over 50 years, was identified during the preparation of the States of Jersey Waste Water Strategy. The new works is needed in order to meet future environmental standards and a 2035 design horizon where the works will need to fully treat 830l/s or 71,700m3/d.
The contract has been awarded on the basis of a framework agreement which will have two distinct packages of work. The first package is for a period of Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) to develop the concept design followed by a second package to Design and Build (D&B) the new replacement STW.
Doosan Enpure, together with its civil engineering partner Farrans Construction and local on-island partner Geomarine, will deliver the contract by utilising an Integrated Project Team (IPT) methodology which will encourage working together with the T&TS team to enable open innovation and enhance whole-life value to T&TS. Pell Frischman have been selected as main civil engineering designer for the STW.
Due to the strategic importance of the existing STW, the project will require careful scheduling of construction to enable the various operations of the existing works to be decommissioned, transferred to the new facility and then redeveloped for the next phase of the project. Other key elements of works will include programme management, existing services diversions, hillside removal, slope stabilisation and demolition. All the activities need to take place while the existing plant continues to process the Island's waste water in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Avtar Jirh, Managing Director for Doosan Enpure Limited, said:
“I am pleased that Doosan Enpure has been awarded this prestigious project through a tough competitive bidding process. This project will allow Doosan and our partners to further develop our relationship with the States of Jersey for the long-term under this Framework Agreement”
Kevin Corley, Operations Director for Farrans Construction added:
“We are delighted to be working with Doosan Enpure on this prestigious project and look forward to working with the States of Jersey”.
