The latest Stage 1 Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) awards cover the Hastings Resilience Programme and the Brighton East Nitrate Removal Scheme, both delivered under Southern Water’s £3.1bn Strategic Delivery Partner framework.
Kier is now involved in 31 ECI projects for Southern Water with a combined development-phase value of £104m. As the schemes progress into construction, the total delivery value is expected to exceed £480m.
The Hastings Resilience Programme is expected to be worth more than £30m and will enhance water treatment processes while improving the resilience and security of supply across the Hastings water network.
Works at Brede Water Supply Works will include upgrades to rapid gravity filters, high-lift pumping stations, clear water storage tanks, disinfection systems and discharge infrastructure, alongside additional resilience improvements at Beauport Water Supply Works.
At Brighton East Water Supply Works, Kier will develop nitrate removal upgrades through the construction of new treatment facilities, network reconfiguration and enhancements to raw water transfer systems serving the Brighton East and Falmer water supply network.
Andy Lingham, managing director for water at Kier Infrastructure, said: “These latest awards continue to build on our relationship with Southern Water and reflect the level of investment now moving through AMP8.”
