Thames Water appoints Morrison Utility Services for South London and Thames Valley AMP7 Infrastructure Capital Programme


Morrison Utility Services (MUS), the UK’s largest dedicated utility service provider and part ofMGroup Services, has been awarded two major geographic Lots to deliver water and wastewater infrastructure (network) projects in South London and The Thames Valley in support of Thames Water’s AMP7/ AMP8 Infrastructure Capital Programme.


Under the terms of the agreement, Morrison Utility Services has been appointed as the primary contractor for Lot 6 (Infrastructure South London) and Lot 7 (Infrastructure Thames Valley). The estimated collective value of the two Lots during AMP7 is £330m.


The initial duration of the framework agreement for both Lots will be five years to complement Thames Water’s AMP7 delivery period (April 2020 - March 2025), with the option to extend for a maximum further five years in line with the 2025-2030 AMP8 regulatory period.


 The scope of the Infrastructure (water and wastewater) Capital Programme for


both Lots includes;


 Water distribution mains replacement  New or refurbished pumping stations  New and replacement water trunk mains  Water pressure management activities


 Inspection and maintenance of aqueducts, bridges and tunnels


 New and replacement waste rising mains


 Survey, rehabilitation and replacement of sewers near and crossing rail


 Gravity solutions to maintain asset health and accommodate growth together with


pipe bridge inspections


Thames Water Capital Delivery Director John Bentley commented: “We’re pleased to again be working with Morrison Utility Services, a company with whom we’ve developed a great working relationship over a number of years. Together we plan to deliver an ambitious and progressive programme of works in our water and wastewater networks across South London and the Thames Valley.”


Scale-up Data Technology, water companies urged


There has been “significant growth” in the use of data by the UK water sector, but technology now needs to be rolled out at scale if optimum benefits are to be felt over the next five years. This is the picture from Paul Dickenson, chair of the British Water Data & Analytics Focus Group, who was speaking ahead of British Water’s Data Conference, which will take place on 21 October 2020.


The theme of the virtual conference, Implementing Change Now, is “very much a call to action”, in response to regulatory expectations in the 2020-2025 AMP7 period, says Dickenson, technical director at distributed optical monitoring and data specialist nuron.

“It’s no longer about doing small-scale projects. It’s about how we can take the technologies and processes that have already been proven quite regularly, and now apply them at meaningful scale. Ofwat has been very clear that it wants to see transformational outcomes from innovation in AMP7 and is driving that through its £200m innovation fund and competition. This is the direction we must go in to move forward.”


The 2020 Data Conference will be British Water’s fourth. In that time, data science in the water industry has “noticeably moved in and moved on”. Dickenson said focus should be shifting towards fully integrating data science into business as usual operations, enabling decision makers to use data on a daily basis.


Morrison Utility Services Executive Director, Lawrence Summers, commented: “'I am absolutely delighted that Thames Water have chosen us to be the primary contractor for the delivery of their Infrastructure Capital Programme in both South London and The Thames Valley for AMP7 and beyond. We look forward to building on the excellent relationship that we have established over more than twenty years working for Thames Water. Working collaboratively, I amconfident we will achieve world class health and safety performance, whilst successfully delivering a varied mix of water and wastewater capital projects.”


Morrison Utility Services Contract Director, Kevin Parcell added: “We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded the primary contractor positions in both South London and Thames Valley, giving us the opportunity to expand our long-term partnership with Thames Water on AMP7 Capital Infrastructure Frameworks and beyond. We are really looking


forward to being part of the next chapter, working closely and collaboratively with Thames Water, the challenges that lay ahead and the opportunities this will bring. I know we have the formula to make this a success.”


Earlier this year, Morrison Utility Services extended its long-term partnership with Thames Water after being awarded a place on Lot 2 – Infrastructure on the AMP7 Capital Programme Thames Wide Framework, covering works that span water and wastewater infrastructure (network) and assets across Thames Water’s operational region.


With an estimated overall value of £170m, the Lot 2 programme of works will be awarded to the successful contractors on a package by package basis and includes the rehabilitation and replacement of potable and waste water pipelines through to the inspection and maintenance of pumping assets, aqueducts and tunnels and supporting more complex emergency projects.
