The three companies commented on their appointment
Conor Bray, managing director at United Living Infrastructure Services, said:
“We are delighted to partner Southern Water on this important AMP8 capital infrastructure investment programme to transform clean water across the region.
“Working closely with Southern Water, we will use our significant expertise and experience, including our MEICA and Engineering specialist business, AFECO, to deliver an innovative and highly sustainable service. We look forward to supporting Southern Water’s major investment in the local environment, delivering high standards of drinking water quality, and addressing increased demand from the growing population.”
Phil Cull, southern region director at Barhale, said: “There is a focus on finding creative, cost-effective solutions that protect the environment while providing supply resilience for customers,
“This programme will mainly address routine asset works but there is nonetheless an emphasis on identifying low build or no build solutions and a real commitment to sustainability so we will be considering low carbon, catchment, and nature-based solutions.
“We are looking forward to working with Southern Water through this important period.”
Ronan Clancy, executive director at Clancy Docwra, said: “The water sector is feeling pressure from all sides. Increasingly unpredictable weather and growing populations are placing rising demands on the network. At the same time there is a requirement to keep customer bills low as we strengthen our ageing infrastructure. As a result, it’s essential that we find cost-effective and efficient solutions to upgrading assets and improving performance.
“The new regulatory period presents an excellent opportunity for the industry to invest vital resources into expanding and reinforcing the integrity of the country’s pipelines. Clancy’s wealth of experience in delivering capital investment programmes, as well as in the maintenance of water and wastewater networks, means we are well-placed to support Southern Water in ensuring the network is resilient and efficient to maintain for the future.”
