Thames Water appoints technical partner for Teddington recycling scheme

Thames Water has appointed a joint venture between Jacobs and Mott MacDonald as its technical partner to lead development proposals for its Teddington Direct River Abstraction project – a water recycling scheme designed to help tackle the risk of drought in London.

Thames said the appointment under its recently established Strategic Resource Options Technical Partner Framework followed a competitive procurement process. The water company said it will bring “access to an expansive supply chain of technical experts with major infrastructure project experience in engineering, design, environmental assessment, planning, and land access and acquisition.”

According to Thames’ head of procurement and supply chain, Mohit Farmah: “This project has been deemed of national significance in recognition of its scale and importance to our economy, wider society, and the environment.”
