About

Portsmouth Water Limited awarded a contract to Ward & Burke Construction Limited for the construction of the main pipeline works as part of the Havant Thicket Reservoir Project.

This project is a flagship initiative to construct the first new strategic water resource and corresponding pipeline in the South East for decades, aimed at increasing water resilience through collaborative regional water planning between Portsmouth Water and Southern Water.

The contract value is £41,014,620.

Construction is anticipated to start in 2024 and complete by 2029.

The procurement of the main works contractor was carried out together with the procurement of a framework agreement for wider design services, but this award notice relates only to the main pipeline works contract.
