R&M

Thames Water Distribution network repair and maintenance

Value; £20m per annum

Contract; Repair & Maintenance Permanent Reinstatement

Term; 5 years (until 2009)

Location; South London and Provinces

Description

The area of work is South London, between the Thames and the M25 to the west of London and the Provinces.  Morrison operates out of two sites, Brixton and Darenth to optimise resource availability and reduce travel. 

Morrison has worked in this area since 1994 and secured a ten year framework in 2004 for continued provision of network maintenance services.      

Contract scope encompasses all elements of maintenance relating to mains, services and associated street furniture.

Repair work is essentially reactive and focused on maintaining water quality and network sustainability. With the upgrade of Thames Network, we are also undertaking mains replacement work under this contract.

Planning and enabling works are undertaken to ensure the challenges of working in and around London are managed effectively and ensure first time completion of works wherever possible.

Highway liaison and streetworks management is a critical element of the operation and we have a dedicated streetworks team co-ordinate all such activity.

Our workforce is multi skilled and we employ an extended supply chain to manage peaks in workload and deliver projects to time cost and quality
