Huber Technology has been awarded the Northern Ireland Water Screens and Screenings Handling framework following a comprehensive and detailed tender process.
The Northern Ireland Water framework includes coarse screens, fine screens, combined inlet screens, storm screens, screenings handling equipment, grit plant and combined inlet works along with control panels, commissioning spares and maintenance of the equipment in question.
The framework was divided up into 7 lots and is estimated to be worth around £10,000,000 in total over an initial two year period with an option to extend this to three years in total.
Huber Technology has been selected as framework partner covering all 7 lots. The contract continues the firm’s 25 year long standing relationship with Northern Ireland Water, through the support of existing assets and through new schemes to add to the 600 existing references within the NIW region.
The latest scheme delivered recently by Huber was the complete Inlet Works at Belfast (Duncrue) STW which includes 6-off coarse screens, 6-off escalator screens and 4-off large screenings handling units, to handle a flow in excess of 10,500 l/sec with 5 screens working at any time.
Stephen Truesdale – Head of Integrated Procurement for NIW commented
“NIW are pleased that after an extensive framework tender process to award Huber Technology a 3 year agreement encompassing all areas of the framework such as inlet screens, screenings handling, storm screens, grit removal equipment and packaged inlet works solutions. Huber Technology is one of only two suppliers to be awarded all 7 Lots within the framework and this brings huge benefits to NIW in terms of standardisation, continuity and of course cost benefits.”
