Portsmouth names suppliers in running for reservoir contracts
Portsmouth Water has named suppliers in the running for contracts worth £140 million in its Havant Thicket Reservoir project.
Portsmouth said it has issued formal invites to tender for the two main work packages – the main reservoir and its associated pipeline. Contracts are due to be awarded in March 2022.
Suppliers invited to tender are:
Main reservoir
• Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering;
• HOCHTIEF (UK) Construction; and
• a joint venture of J. T. Mackley & Co. and Jones Bros Ruthin
Reservoir pipeline
• Clancy Docwra;
• Farrans Construction;
• Roadbridge UK; and
• Ward & Burke Construction.
Portsmouth said Havant Thicket Reservoir project – a collaboration with Southern Water – “will secure critical water supplies for the South East of England, an area under serious water stress. It will also help protect environmentally sensitive chalk streams and create a new, green leisure facility for local communities and wildlife.”
Decisions on planning applications for the reservoir and its associated pipeline are expected by summer 2021.
