Framework to help shape delivery of future asset
investment programs
Supports efforts to manage water supply
resiliency in London and
surrounding areas
DALLAS, March 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) and Mott
MacDonald have been selected by Thames Water, the U.K.'s largest
water and waste utility, as technical partner to support delivery
of the water company's $5.9 billion
(£4.7B) future asset investment programs under its Strategic
Resource Option (SRO) framework.
The SRO technical framework supports three major water
infrastructure projects critical to delivering water security for
the south of England: the London
Water Recycling, South East Strategic Reservoir Option and Severn
to Thames Transfer projects. Under this eight-year professional
services framework agreement, Jacobs and Mott MacDonald will
deliver a range of technical, engineering, environmental,
regulatory and planning consent services to take the schemes
through the development phase and into delivery.
"Jacobs and Mott MacDonald combine tremendous global
capabilities from major complex water infrastructure programs, and
together with our U.K. planning experience will provide innovative
support," said Jacobs Senior Vice President Kate Kenny. "As the need for long-term,
integrated water management solutions intensifies, we'll work
collaboratively with Thames Water to solve some of the U.K.'s
greatest water resources challenges."
Mott MacDonald Managing Director UK & Europe Richard Risdon
said: "I'm delighted to announce our appointment to this framework.
Mott MacDonald and Jacobs have an impressive track-record of
providing industry leading services to the U.K. water sector and we
look forward to continuing to work closely with Thames Water,
helping deliver pioneering solutions for the benefit of the
communities they serve."
The two companies integrate industry-leading capabilities across
both the full water and project lifecycle – from planning and
consulting to design and technical capabilities. Having been
involved in early stages of the development of the SROs, both
companies understand the strategic context, need and basis of
design for these projects.
To date, Jacobs and Mott MacDonald have delivered more than 100
development consent orders (DCOs) in the U.K. water sector,
including Thames Tideway Tunnel, the sector's first project to be
developed under the U.K.'s Specified Infrastructure Projects
Regulations and one of the largest DCO projects in the U.K. water
sector.
