Alliance Framework

Barhale will again be part of the team delivering Anglian Water’s capital programme.

Anglian Water Services, part of the Anglian Water Group, has extended the contract with the @one Alliance into AMP5 covering the 2010-15 investment period.  The @one Alliance will be responsible for delivering more than 50 per cent of Anglian Water’s AMP5 capital programme.The companies that make-up the @one Alliance are:

• Anglian Water Engineering
• Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions Limited
• Barhale Construction plc
• Biwater Treatment Limited
• Black & Veatch Limited
• Grontmij Limited
• Skanska Construction UK Limited and Aker Solutions E&C Limited

These companies will work together within an alliancing environment and will be responsible for delivering projects collectively in excess of £1 billion.

“The key challenge for the alliance will be responding to the efficiencies set by Anglian Water to ensure that schemes are effectively  delivered and that Anglian Water customers benefit from the investment as quickly as possible,” said Chris Newsome, Director of Asset Management at Anglian Water.

Chris Smith, who leads the Wastewater Infrastructure programme area said: ”We have worked hard to deliver the efficiencies required for AMP4 delivery. The challenge is now to beat the affordability challenge in AMP5. This will only happen if can be open to new delivery ideas, designs incorporating standard products and cutting out waste”.

Barhale Director Andy Flowerday said: “Our current success in extending our Near Miss reporting beyond Safety and Environment to include our Profit Pillar platform will have a big part to play in helping to drive down waste and cost both in the office and out on site and draws on the fabulous input from all Our People who clearly understand the need to deliver real costs efficiencies day in and day out to ensure we and our customers achieve ongoing business sustainability.”
