The Yorkshire Water AMP7 Complex and Minor Civils Frameworks is a multi-supplier framework to cover civil and structural engineering, construction and refurbishment works associated with selected above or below ground assets on operational treatment, collection or distribution facilities including process treatment and water retaining structures, as one-off projects.
We are the primary delivery partner for Lot 4 Thames Valley Region of their AMP7 Capital Programmes Geographic Framework Agreements responsible for the non-infrastructure works, delivering clean and wastewater projects.
We’re one of the main construction partners on South West Water Framework delivering waste water non-infrastructure projects across the East of the South West Water operating area.
The South West has experienced the second highest net migration of any English region in the past 10 years, almost all of which has been people arriving from other parts of the UK. With much of the increase made up of retirees or people able to work from home, the impact on variability of demand during the day has been significant. This is exacerbated by disproportionate numbers of second homes in the region.
The non-infrastructure scope across all includes:
- Refurbishment, replacement and provision of new potable ground and surface water production assets such as enhanced slow sand filter performance
- Run-to-waste facilities, cartridge filters and UV
- Increased power resilience
- Disinfection, surge protection, chemical dosing, pumping systems, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
- New service reservoirs and inspection and maintenance of existing service and storage reservoirs
The wastewater non-infrastructure scope includes:
- Refurbishment, replacement and provision of new treatment facilities such as inlet works
- Stormwater storage, event duration monitors
- Settlement tanks
- Biological treatment, tertiary treatment, sludge treatment including Thermal Hydrolysis Process (THP)
- Digester roof replacement
- Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
- Chemical dosing
- Phosphorous removal
- Odour control and increased power resilience
Key focus of these frameworks: Affordability & optimisation
The frameworks embrace collaboration on design and delivery to achieve the AMP7 & AMP8 obligations. The framework ethos focuses on how projects are delivered, not just what is delivered, with key factors being affordability, budget and design optimisation, innovation and sustainability including off-site build, standardisation and workforce upskilling, and safer, maintainable assets.
