Pick Everard joins Yorkshire Water AMP 5 framework team
Pick Everard starts work this month on a five year AMP 5 sewerage framework agreement awarded by Yorkshire Water to a joint venture comprising Barhale and WSP.
As a first tier supplier, Pick Everard’s leading water industry expertise will be required in designing sewerage solutions. Pick Everard engineers will be working with the Joint Venture based in Livingstone House, sited in Leeds’ prestigious Clarence Dock, a state of the art development being established to bring all partners together with Yorkshire Water to work as an integrated alliance team. This model has already proved successful in other parts of the country, bringing about innovation in both project design and delivery.
Over the next five years Yorkshire Water will spend £1.3billion to upgrade and improve its water sewerage network and to achieve its ambition to be the UK’s best service provider. The aim is to achieve a world-class asset management business with a strong environmental focus, the lowest possible prices, customer service excellence and attractive investor returns. Pick Everard associate and civil engineer Mark Colby, heading up the design team says,” Pick Everard has worked very successfully in alliances with other partners in the water industry on major projects so we’re delighted to have been appointed to this framework team. Our long history in the water industry and particular expertise in sewerage modelling and design will benefit Yorkshire Water and its customers”.
For the last four years, Pick Everard’s hydraulic, civil and structural engineering teams have been working in an alliance with Severn Trent Water, Biwater and North Midland Construction Nomenca at Minworth Sewage Treatment Works near Birmingham, a complete revamp of the works for the 21st century and Severn Trent Water’s biggest project to date. The effective integration of all the companies and collaborative working practices proved key to that project’s success and Pick Everard will build upon that learning in Yorkshire.
