water andwaste water assets for the next phase of the Asset Management Plan for
Welsh Water in Wales as well as the technology upgrade to the Crossness and
Beckton Sewage Treatment Works in London.
René van der Bruggen, Imtech CEO: 'Imtech is one of the strongest players in the
UK water and waste water industry. In recent years this position was
strengthened step by step, through long-term costumer's alliances, joint venture
partnering as well as the technological performance by offering more added
value. The new orders for the next phase of the Welsh Water Asset Management
Plan as well as the technology upgrade of the Crossness and Beckton Sewage
Treatment Works in London are firm foundations for continuity in the coming
years in the UK. These assignments are focussing not only on the water and
environmental quality, but with the introduction of the Carbon Reduction
Commitment 2010 there is the added challenge for long-term sustainable solutions
through reducing carbon emissions and energy use. Imtech has a lot of experience
in this fields through the delivery of leading innovative technical solutions.'
Welsh Water selects Imtech for next phase AMP 5 contract in Wales
Welsh Water has confirmed that the Imtech framework contract will continue into
AMP 5. This isthe next five year Asset Management Plan period which runs between
2010 and 2015 for maintaining and upgrading all of the water and wastewater
assets in Wales, including the demand that these assets are more adequately
protected against surface water flooding. Imtech has been working with Welsh
Water since 2000 and this will be the third successive AMP period where Imtech
will deliver services in Wales on behalf of Welsh Water and its customers. The
contract is to be worth over 100 million euro to Imtech over the next five years
and will include sub-programmes of work for process engineering, using
multidisciplinary technology solutions and major improvements at sewage
treatment works Five Fords, Cardiff, Afan and Nash. Imtech is focussing on
introducing energy efficiency measures to drive continuous improvements in asset
performance, carbon reduction and HSE management (Health, Safety and
Environment). One of the goals for AMP 5 is that companies look to source their
energy requirements from renewables where possible, and in fact create renewable
energy of their own, as well as reduce their carbon footprint through effective
waste management. Imtech has a lot of experience in delivering innovative waste
to energy projects.
Thames Water selects Imtech for Crossness and Beckton upgrade contracts in
London
Thames Water has appointed Tamesis - a joint venture between Imtech and Laing
O'Rourke - as the contractor for a 155 million euro upgrade to the Crossness
Sewage Treatment Works on the south bank of the Thames as well as a 150 million
euro upgrade to the Beckton Sewage Treatment Works on the north of the river.
Both plants are situated on the east side of London. Together these sewage
assetsserve four million Londoners. The improvements will enable the sites to
treat 44 per cent (Crossness) and 60 per cent (Beckton) more sewage than they do
now, significantly reducing the amount of storm sewage that overflows into the
River Thames during heavy rainfall when the site becomes overloaded. This marks
a fundamental step in improving the quality of London's iconic river. The
projects include the installation of wind turbines - the first ever to power
British sewage works - that will help generate up to half the energy needed to
power the sites. The upgrade will also see new odour controlled treatment
processes and environmental enhancements. Both upgrades will be finished at the
end of 2013.
The works at Crossness and Beckton are part of a 720 million euro program to
improve treatment standards and increase the volume of sewage treated London's
five major sewage treatment works - Crossness, Mogden, Beckton, Long Reach and
Riverside.Imtech and Laing O'Rourke are offering multidisciplinary solutions
involving civil, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and control-systems
engineering and technology solutions.
