Thames Water<\/a> has chosen Laing O\u2019Rourke<\/a> to deliver the \u00a3123m\u00a0upgrade of Beckton sewage works in London<\/h2>\n

Laing O\u2019Rourke will work with Thames Water on the project to ensure Beckton sewage works can cope with London\u2019s increasing population.<\/p>\n

The three-year upgrade to Beckton sewage works is the first major contract awarded as part of the Thames Water\u2019s AMP7 schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It will see Laing O\u2019Rourke build a completely new inlet works and extend aeration lanes and settlement tanks.<\/p>\n

Beckton will also be prepared to receive wastewater from the new super sewer, Thames Tideway Tunnel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

John Bentley, capital delivery director of Thames Water, said: \u201cAwarding this contract is a significant milestone as it is the first major project awarded as part of our \u00a35bn capital investment plan for the next five years.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy ensuring we can take the flow from the \u2018super sewer\u2019, this project will help to improve the quality of the River Thames, as well as making sure the site is ready to handle the expected increase in London\u2019s population in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

MMC to accelerate construction<\/h3>\n

Declan McGeeney, Laing O\u2019Rourke\u2019s head of UK infrastructure, commented: \u201cSix years ago, we delivered a substantial upgrade to Beckton and we\u2019re delighted Thames Water has trusted us to return.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project will maximise the use of digital engineering<\/a> and offsite manufacture, with every detail of the works being built virtually before the real thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of the tanks, such as the walls of the new activated sludge plant, will be built at our factory in Nottinghamshire before being transported for assembly on site.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese modern methods of construction<\/a> help us to deliver six months faster than traditional methods would allow.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Beckton sewage works project is expected to create around 30 jobs for local workers and is due to start early next year.<\/p>\n
