The Portsmouth Water project was an unusual contract for Clancy Docwra.
“Portsmouth Water had tried numerous different methods of dealing with the algae but all failed, so they came up with the idea of building three structures which would completely enclose these open topped water supplies stopping the UV, and hence the algae bloom, and giving them the compliance they needed. “Portsmouth Water went out to independent tender for the work in July 2011, issuing a design brief which explained the problem and the required solution, but which gave tenderers the flexibility to propose their own designs and methods of construction. They wanted a one source contract, and so Clancy Docwra submit- ted a bid in conjunction with partner company Reid Steel.” Clancy Docwra was awarded the contract in September 2011 with a total contract value of around £5.7M. Clancy Docwra acts as principal contractor for the entire programme, carrying
out all civils and working with a number of other specialist sub-contractors as required. The design, construction and installation of the steel frameworks was completed by Reid Steel along with other sub-contracted elements such as casting of the concrete foundations and formwork, all electrical work and small building works.
