United Utilities appoints design partner trio

United Utilities has appointed three design and development partners for its environmental programme: AtkinsRéalis, Mott MacDonald and Stantec.

The water company said the partners will “take concepts put forward by United Utilities’ strategic solutions team to create detailed designs for schemes across its water and wastewater sites as well as bio resource and rainwater management projects”.

The announcement followed United Utilities’ recent appointment of seven partners for its major infrastructure projects and 18 detailed design and build partners.   

The company has submitted a £13.7 billion investment plan for 2025-2030 to Ofwat that it claimed would “deliver cleaner rivers, more reliable water supplies and improvements to services for customers, communities and the environment” and “support 30,000 jobs, including 7,000 new jobs across United Utilities and the wider supply chain.”
