Yorkshire Water has signed a framework contract with four marine engineering partners up to £100 million. As formally agreed on 28 April, the four partners, ABCO Marine, Farrans Construction, Van Oord and Ward & Burke, will undertake all the company’s marine civil engineering work over the next five years.
The four partners will install new sea outfall pipes, carry out site investigations and planned maintenance to improve existing outfall assets.
‘This framework has been designed to build on the work we’ve carried out over the last five years to improve Yorkshire’s bathing waters. We are confident our partners will deliver the best possible solutions for us and the water environment, at the best price with the highest levels of safety,” said Nevil Muncaster, director of asset management, Yorkshire Water.
The first project is worth £7 million and involves replacing the long sea outfall in Scarborough which carries waste water from the washing and processing of potatoes into the sea at Cornelian Bay, which Van Oord started construction on this 2.5km pipeline early this April.
