Galliford Try has been appointed to a £110 million contract to deliver the River Mease Improvement project on behalf of Severn Trent Water – the UK construction group’s Environment business will carry out the work.

The project is being driven by Water Industry National Environment Programme (WINEP) requirements and will involve the creation of a 23km cross-country pipeline that conveys flows from the Packington and Measham treatment works.
The works include a duelled section at the A42 crossing before discharging at the designated outfall into the River Tame.
Bill Hocking, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, commented:
“We are delighted to be strengthening our long-standing relationship with Severn Trent with a project of this scale and significance. Delivering the River Mease Improvement project reinforces our position as a leading delivery partner for complex, large-scale water and wastewater infrastructure projects that support environmental compliance and long-term resilience.”
Craig Nienaber, Business Development Manager for Safe Access Solutions (SAS) at HUBER Technology, explores why the company is seeing a growing level of interest in its safe access solutions for critical infrastructure providers, including their application in wastewater treatment assets.
