BARHALE

Scottish Water CDP

Barhale Northern and Scotland has been awarded a £27m contract by Scottish Water for the refurbishment of water mains throughout Ayrshire. 

Matthew Burke said: “This award now consolidates our presence in Scotland and builds on the company’s success in delivering the UID programmes over the last two years”.

The contract was bid in November 2009 and won against stiff competition from four other contractors.  Work is due to commence in April with initial investigation works to confirm the  optimum refurbishment techniques before commencing work in earnest on four District Metering Areas.

Techniques will include PU lining, slip lining, and open cut. Contract completion is due by April 2012. 

Three other contractors have secured DW5 contracts, however Barhale has been allocated the highest value.  Alistair Smith and his team attended a joint workshop with Scottish Water and three other contactors to prepare for the challenges ahead, and to develop a better understand of the needs of the client.

It is envisaged that this is the first of many exciting opportunities that will arise from Barhale’s appointment as a Capital Delivery Partner for Scottish Water.
