United Utilities has awarded a contract for the supply, installation, maintenance and data management of battery powered data loggers worth an estimated £7.15 million.
The single source framework agreement covers the supply, installation, maintenance and data management of battery powered, Atex rated data loggers in wastewater applications across the North West region.
