Today, Glan Agua Farrans JV (GAF) announced that it had completed works for Affinity Water at two existing treatment sites — Amersham in Buckinghamshire and Northmoor in Hertfordshire — in a multi-million-pound contract.
GAF JV was awarded two projects under the Process and Network Modifications Framework to provide crucial upgrades to Affinity Water’s existing treatment infrastructure. The works involved the construction of a sophisticated turbidity treatment process plant to supplement the existing treatment plant within the confines of the Amersham 9 million L per day (ML/D; 2.3 million gallons per day) and Northmoor 18 ML/D (4.7 MGD) facilities.
The projects were constructed under several environmental, ecological, safety, and stakeholder constraints. Both plants were brought into service in recent months.
“Both Glan Agua and Farrans came to this project with the right mix of capabilities in the water market to deliver to a high standard on a complex project,” said Neil Barnes, Farrans’ regional director for civils in England. “We have worked closely and collaboratively with Affinity Water to achieve an excellent result at each location. Off-site construction was at the forefront of the design, utilizing modular and containerized units to deliver the challenging program within a tight site footprint.”
“The modern method involved all modules being manufactured off-site,” continued Barnes, “with all equipment suppliers delivering to our supply chain partner’s DfMA facility, where they were assembled. The modules were then delivered to the site, placed and installed immediately in a ‘plug and play’ fashion. This methodology reduced the level of on-site resource and helped reduce any safety risks.”
“The plants were designed to be decommissioned and potentially reused elsewhere so they are at the forefront of industry sustainability,” said Paul Gardner, managing director of Glan Agua. “We are pleased that we have been able to complete these extensive works successfully and on time in the face of the challenges presented by the pandemic by adapting quickly and utilizing the agility of both JV partners.”
