Black & Veatch has won a place on the Welsh Government construction consultancy framework, including work on flood alleviation.
Black & Veatch will operate in two areas, or lots. The first is Lot 6, which will focus mainly on flood alleviation; much of this work will be for Natural Resources Wales (NRW). The other would be site supervision, which includes environmental and landscaping clerk-of-work roles that come under Lot 9.
NRW’s Flood Risk Management Capital Programme budget for this four-year framework is £20 million per annum; of which 5 percent to 10 percent will come through Lot 6 each year.
Speaking about the opportunity, Rob Flitter, Black & Veatch Framework Manager, said,
“Securing ongoing opportunities to deliver work for NRW will also open the door for Black & Veatch to work for other Welsh Government bodies, including local councils, the fire, health and education services. This success is a reflection on the great work that project teams have been delivering for NRW and other Welsh clients over the last few years.”
More than 357,000 people in Wales live in 220,000 properties at the risk of flooding from river or sea, 97,000 of which are also at the risk of surface water flooding. Defence against flooding is currently one of the most significant challenges for the Welsh Government.
Black & Veatch also has a place in the Environment Agency’s Water and Environment Management framework in England.
