12 | Alliances 2014 CVA brings fresh approach
Partners: Costain; Veolia Water; Atkins Customer: Thames Water Contract: Design & build partner for AMP6 Term: 23 months Early Contractor Involvement; 5yr contract from April 2015
CVA IS is a new consortium created for the Thames Water AMP6 programme. Comprising Costain, Veolia Water and Atkins, the consortium is one of the four companies that make up the Thames Water Alliance (see p20).
Like the other three partners that make up the Thames Alliance, CVA has embarked on the Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) scheme. Commenting on the CVA alliance, Andy Bull, alliance core team head of commercial and supply chain and chairman of the CVA JV, said: “It’s a great team, we’re a strong alliance and I’m very excited about the future.”
Steve Jennings, a member of the CVA board representing Veolia, believes the alliance will yield “great benefits to Thames Water and its customers.” Neil Thomas, representing Atkins, said: “We are looking forward to working closely
Costain has teamed up with Veolia and Atkins
with our partners and drawing on our combined technical expertise and complementary strengths to support Thames Water.”
The Costain Group is one of the UK’s leading engineering solutions providers with projects covering major infrastructure (highways,
rail, power and airports) and natural resources (water, nuclear process, waste and hydrocarbons and chemicals). Veolia Water provides water and wastewater management services throughout the UK and Ireland, while Atkins is the UK’s largest engineering and design consultancy.
Consistency, collaboration and quality are the key
Partners: AECOM; Galliford Try Customer: Yorkshire Water Contract: Capital delivery on treatment, other installations and large scheme programme streams Term: Yr4 of 5yr framework
ETM THE, AECOM and Galliford Try joint venture, has been working collaboratively to provide Yorkshire Water with design and construction services for more than ten years, throughout AMP3, AMP4 and AMP5 and has recently been reappointed to the AMP6 framework. It is on three frameworks: Large (currently secured £95M), Medium Treatment (£61M) and Others streams (£30M).
The JV said its continued appointment to the framework “is a reflection of our consistent delivery, quality work and collaborative approach”. It is currently ranked top of the Medium Treatment stream in AMP5.
ETM has completed a variety of projects in the past 12 months, including the new 35Ml/day Acomb Landing water treatment works as part of the Large stream, which is the first ozone generating plant of its kind to be installed in the UK. In addition, the relocation of

the Ingbirchworth wastewater treatment facility as part of the Medium stream was completed in March 2012.
This new underground wastewater treatment facility can cope with higher volumes of wastewater and has increased the quality of the water returning to the environment through a magnesium dosing plant. More than 70 projects have been completed in the Others stream during the past 12 months, including 60 emergency overflow appeal projects.
Projects that it expects to work
on on in the next year include additional works at Blackburn Meadows (WwTW). Due to ETM achieving capital savings of £17M on the upgrade of Blackburn Meadows WwTW, the proposed bio-energy digester scheme could be fast-tracked into AMP5.
Upgrade works at Mexborough Swinton WwTW will also continue, which includes the trialing of our new Microbubble technology, developed in collaboration with Sheffield University and Perlemax, to create energy savings at the site.
