The new contract, of up to £135 million, extends the partnership between the two companies, which have already worked together for a decade. The five-year agreement comes alongside the water company’s most ambitious business plan ever.
Head of Engineering for South East Water, Desmond Brown, said:
“I’m thrilled to be extending our contract with Enisca Browne.
“Our successful partnership has already delivered many projects across our supply area which have required civil and mechanical design, construction, refurbishment and commissioning of water treatment works and pumping stations.
“Enisca Browne was also instrumental in constructing a temporary treatment works facility. This was a project which required an urgent solution to support demand for water in the area following the loss of a nearby drinking water storage reservoir when a sinkhole opened beneath the tanks. This project was shortlisted for an award and was an incredible achievement of engineering ingenuity.
“Having trusted partners to help us deliver crucial improvements, upgrades and new treatment facilities is vital for us to be able to continue supplying our customers with top-quality drinking water both now and in the future, in a way that is sustainable and innovative.”
Enisca Browne’s Director, Steven McCulloch, added:
“We are honoured to continue our long-standing partnership with South East Water as they embark on their most ambitious business plan to date in AMP8. Over the past decade, we’ve worked closely together to deliver innovative and efficient solutions that have enhanced their infrastructure.
“This contract extension underscores the trust South East Water has placed in us to deliver critical projects that support the delivery of safe, high-quality drinking water to 2.3 million customers. We share their vision for sustainable and forward-thinking engineering, and we’re committed to helping them achieve their goals of improving, expanding, and future-proofing the network."
