Morrison Water Services secures AMP8 Infrastructure Works

Morrison Water Services, part of M Group Services’ Water Division, is proud to announce the extension of its long-standing partnership with Southern Water through the award of both the Asset Management Plan 8 (AMP 8) Capital Programme Strategic Delivery Partner (SDP) Framework for infrastructure projects, and the Low Complexity Delivery Route Lot 2 Framework.

These significant framework wins represent a substantial body of work designed to support Southern Water’s Water for Life ambitions and reinforce a relationship that has spanned over two decades.

Morrison Water Services’ solutions will play a key part in Southern Water’s response to the combined impacts of population growth, climate change and the need to protect the environment through enhancements to the wastewater network and long-term reliability of water supplies.

Under these frameworks, Morrison Water Services will leverage its extensive expertise across the programme lifecycle to deliver comprehensive, innovative solutions across Southern Water’s strategic AMP8 programmes.

The scope of work includes strategic planning, detailed design, and the construction and delivery of critical water and wastewater infrastructure. Key projects will involve the enhancement of Combined Storm Overflows (CSO), improvements to the wider wastewater network, the installation of new strategic trunk mains, and the rehabilitation of large water mains.

The execution of these projects will provide significant levels of enhancement to Southern Water’s wastewater and water networks, supporting its ambitions to provide increased levels of asset and service resilience for customers, and enhanced protection of the local environment.

In addition to infrastructure improvements, the contracts will create increased levels of social value through local employment opportunities, particular for local technicians, engineers and apprentices.

Morrison Water Services is committed to utilising local supply chain partners, investing in local people and further supporting the communities within Southern Water’s operational areas.

Iain Sutherland, Managing Director of M Group Services’ Water Division, commented: “We are thrilled to be named Southern Water’s Capital Infrastructure Strategic Delivery Partner. This award not only extends our valued relationship with Southern Water, but also allows us to bring our engineering expertise to the forefront in support of their AMP8 business plan. We look forward to collaborating closely with Southern Water on strategic planning, design, and construction, and to contributing to the successful delivery of these critical infrastructure projects.”
