Kier wins Bristol Water work

Kier has been named Bristol Water’s delivery partner for its £20m-a-year network maintenance services programme, from October 2014 for five years, with a potential five year extension.

Kier will carry out repairs and maintenance, metering, new connections, developer mains, trunk mains support and small diameter mains rehabilitation.

Kier has been delivering network maintenance services for Bristol Water since June 2013, when it competitively won the emergency contract after the previous provider went into administration.

Gary Freake, Bristol Water director of network, commented: “Over the recent turbulent period, since our previous service provider went into administration, Kier have proven themselves, through their consistent performance and positive behaviours, to be a valuable partner to Bristol Water and one we are looking forward to working with in the years to come.”

Toby Harding, Kier’s operations director for utilities in the south, added: “Our forward-thinking approach to safety, health and environment; quality and customer service is closely aligned with Bristol Water, and we look forward to working closely with them to ensure the continued success of the programme.”
