IMTECH is a major process, mechanical and electrical contractor in the water market. It has strengthened its position as a leader in the water, wastewater and AD related renewable energy markets.
The company is one of our five leaders having topped the sales per employee table with a figure of £397,200, more than £76,000 ahead of second- placed Morgan Sindall. The company reached top spot based on its financial figures for 2011, its results for 2012 had not been announced as The leaders went to press. fImtech started a number of new projects in the past year, including the new THP projects at Crossness and Beckton for Thames Water. The company also completed a number of key projects including Howdon AD (pictured) for Northumbrian Water and a project at Five Fords, which achieves one of Dwr Cymru Welsh Water’s Habitats drivers. Work is underway on a number of significant projects including Hall WTW for Anglian Water and Swansea MBBR for Dwr Cymru Welsh Water. In addition, Imtech has also entered into a framework agreement with Affinity Water and is progressing with a couple of significant projects for United Utilities.
And the company does not see any let-up in its workload schedule. “For this next 12 months we see our workload with our key clients continuing at a high level and do not see any major change this year,” the company says.
Imtech says year four of an AMP period “is generally very busy” and over the next 12 months it will be focusing on delivery, particularly within Anglian Water, Thames Water and Dwr Cymru Welsh Water. The team is also concentrating on new business prospects and with the commencement of the AMP6 procurement process starting in earnest for many of the water companies including Thames Water, United Utilities and Anglian Water, there will be a lot of attention paid to this area.
“The programme for the final year of AMP5 is not totally clear as of yet, but history shows that there will be a slowdown in project delivery and new schemes. As projects within the frameworks come to fruition generally the final year of an AMP period can except to see a slight decline.” However, Imtech has continued to develop its offering in the Waste and Energy sector too, so the business will continue to remain busy. Just under two years away is the start of AMP6

and Imtech says the challenges for that “are slowly becoming clear”, adding that there will be clarification over the next year. The regulator, Ofwat, is pushing towards a Totex model but the exact impacts of that are still be- ing developed.
Common drivers With regards to the move towards totex in AMP 6, this is something that Imtech welcomes in as many of its clients have been moving more towards whole life costing in recent years, with a particular focus on sustainability criteria, including carbon footprint reduction and renewable energy generation. “We understand the benefits of this and have developed our approach to meet these drivers. We feel well placed to support our clients in their move to Totex.
The company adds: “The water companies are all championing common drivers for AMP6 and beyond – sustainability, customers and innovation. We share the vision for the engagement of all the supply chain to adopt and support these drivers to enable a long-term secure water industry for the UK. “The landscape for AMP6 will be greater capital maintenance and more smaller value projects, however new regulatory drivers will continue to ensure quality programmes will be
