GlastonburyMott MacDonald has designed, or is in the
process of designing, some 60 different wastewater projects for
Wessex Engineering and Construction Services (WECS), which is the
in-house construction and construction-management division of
Wessex Water and is charged with delivering the Wessex Water £800 m
five-year AMP4 capital investment programme.
The work is divided into four areas of:
- new facilities at wastewater treatment plant for growth or
compliance drivers
- replacement capital maintenance schemes to up-rate M&E
equipment at wastewater treatment plants
- wastewater network projects to solve sewer flooding incidents
(CSOs, storage tanks and sewer upsizing schemes)
- first-time sewerage schemes.
The design work covers outline design (appraising options and
providing recommendations), detailed design (production of
for-construction drawings and specifications) and providing inputs
during the construction-stage on technical matters.
The range of work has covered both small projects and large
projects. The average design fee per project has been £37
000.
The work has principally been executed by a team of 18 design staff
based in our regional Bristol office with technical support from
our main Water Division in Cambridge.
