Specialist MEICA contractor Nomenca Limited, part of the NM Group, has been awarded a five year framework agreement by United Utilities to supply chemical dosing equipment for its treatment works across the whole of the North West region.
The work involves the design; supply, using off site manufacture and assembly where possible; delivery; installation and commissioning of new and replacement chemical dosing plant, both chemical dosing rigs as well as containerised chemical dosing plants.
Nomenca will also provide project management, site support such as training as well as after sales services, together with training and technical support including the provision of information using a Building Information Modelling (BIM) approach.
“We are delighted to have been awarded this framework with United Utilities,” said Mark Hanrahan, business development director of the NM Group. “In the past we have worked collaboratively together on comparable projects and look forward to continuing this approach on this framework.”
Matt Walker, senior category buyer at United Utilities commented:
“United Utilities is committed to the benefits of off-site manufacture and assembly and encourages Nomenca to propose solutions that use standardised/catalogue items. United Utilities strategy of moving towards fixed standardised arrangements of dosing rigs and containerised chemical plants will contribute towards this commitment.”
Nomenca is currently one of United Utilities’ Asset Management Support framework partners and over the last fifteen years, has worked with the company on both projects and frameworks.
