AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, has been appointed by Southern Water, a major UK water
utility, to deliver asset management, program and project
management services on its Professional Services Framework. The
Company has been appointed to two lots on the Framework, which will
realize Southern Water’s largest and most ambitious business plan
to date in preparation for the UK’s Asset Management Plan Period 8
(AMP8) regulatory period from 2025-2030.
“We’re excited to support Southern Water’s next generation of
infrastructure investments, extending our role as a key enabler of
utilities’ expected substantial growth in AMP8 investments,” said
Beverley Stinson, chief executive of AECOM’s global Water business.
“Through our number one-ranked global Water capabilities, we’re
well positioned to deliver sustainable solutions that help Southern
Water achieve its business, customer and environmental outcomes in
the AMP8 period and beyond.”
Southern Water’s business plan will address AMP8 provisions
aimed at improving efficiency and mitigate supply chain risk, and
will focus on water resilience, wastewater treatment, customer
service, and environmental protection and enhancement. Overall,
AECOM will support Southern Water with strategy & planning,
asset information management including data visualisation and
digital tools, asset intelligence including modelling and
geospatial analysis, as well as technical services and system
monitoring.
Under Lot 1 of the Framework, AECOM will deliver asset
management and advisory services for a period of five years,
collaborating with its sub-consultant partners Arcadis and
AliumBlue. Under Lot 2 of the Framework, AECOM will provide PMO,
program and project management services, as well as supporting
technology insight to drive capability and efficiency.
“We are excited to utilize our global and local expertise to
meet Southern Water’s comprehensive plan for AMP8 compliance,” said
Colin Wood, chief executive of AECOM's Europe and India region.
“Our technical experts continue to play a critical role in
delivering the world’s largest water programs, and their track
record of timely, effective implementation of state-of-the-art
treatment technologies sets us apart as a valued delivery
partner.”
As one of England’s largest water utilities and a key water
supplier for much of South East England, Southern Water delivers
535 million liters of drinking water daily and treats and recycles
1,371 million liters of wastewater daily at 368 treatment works.
AECOM’s appointment by Southern Water follows an extensive pipeline
of work for the AMP8 across the UK water market, delivering a broad
range of capabilities including Asset Management, Design,
Environment and Sustainability, Digital, and Programme Cost and
Commercial services.
