Atkins, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group, working collaboratively with Black & Veatch and RPS, has been awarded a contract to deliver a strategic modelling study for Anglian Water.
The study will explore the early development of a number of proposed strategic pipeline schemes which have the potential to transform water supplies across the east of England.
Atkins, RPS and Black & Veatch have a strong track record of collaborative framework delivery in the water industry, having worked together on Thames Water’s eight2o alliance and as part of a joint venture for Scottish Water.
Richard Whale, Water Market Director for SNC-Lavalin’s Atkins business, commented:
“Our work with Anglian Water will showcase our expertise in early feasibility assessment, as we begin the journey to transform the region’s forecasted long-term water resource needs into physical assets.
“Drawing on technical expertise we’ve demonstrated on a series of major UK water projects, combined with the latest innovations in digital asset management, our collaboration will deliver a faster, smarter and more reliable outcome for Anglian Water and their customers, while also providing a robust foundation for future design and construction.”
The strategic modelling study for Anglian Water will see the organisations:
- Undertake a feasibility workstream to deliver a conceptual base for the Strategic Pipeline Alliance, which will be used to enable the asset delivery process.
- Demonstrate a hydraulic model of existing and new assets to Anglian Water stakeholders.
Mark Kaney, Director of Asset Management, Black & Veatch, said that the collaboration will deliver a key strategic component of Anglian Water’s AMP7 business plan.
Steve Hogg, Water Consultancy Director (Services UK & NL), at RPS, added that the collaborative approach being adopted in delivery of the project would enable the team to deliver a high quality and high confidence model to enable certainty in investment decisions as the project progresses.
The work is due to be completed by December 2019.
