Balfour Beatty, the international infrastructure group, has announced today that its H50 Alliance contract with South West Water, worth around £22M per annum, has been extended by two years to March 2016.

Projects currently being carried out by the alliance include a £3.5m upgrade to sewers and water overflow systems in the heart of Truro; an £18m programme of works to ensure the continued cleanliness of some of Britain’s most popular beaches; and night works in North Devon timed to avoid disruption to the annual book festival and resulting tourist tradColin Kelly, Managing Director, Balfour Beatty – Gas & Water, commented
