GHD, a leading global professional services company, has been awarded a new contract to provide design services for United Utilities Specialist Design Development Partners (DDP) Framework.
The framework is a critical component of United Utilities’ ambitious AMP8 programme, which is set to surpass all previous AMP cycles in scope and investment.
Through the contract, GHD will deliver infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects during the eighth asset management period (AMP8), which spans from 2025 to 2030. GHD will also play a crucial role to help deliver high-quality water services, contributing to a stronger, greener, and healthier North West.
GHD will work with United Utilities to develop high-level solutions and concepts into tangible outputs, effectively bridging the gap between the Strategic Solution Partner’s conceptual deliverables and executable designs.
The work will include the development of outline and detailed design packages to address critical challenges, such as:
- Upgrading wastewater treatment plants to meet tighter phosphorus standards
- Chemical removal projects
- Enhancements to bioresource management
- Reservoir compliance upgrades
- Bathing water quality improvements
- Potential water trading investments
John Hensman, UK Market Leader – Water, GHD, commented:
“GHD has a strong track record of designing new and upgraded water assets for United Utilities, and its contractors, for almost 30 years. This contract win reaffirms our commitment to delivering sustainable, resilient water solutions and creating lasting benefits for the communities we serve. This work will be critical to enhance resilience across the UK’s water systems, safeguarding water supply and delivering vital environmental improvements. We can’t wait to get started.”
