Ipsum has announced it has secured a 2-year extension on Severn Trent’s WINS Lot 2 Framework.
The extension follows Ipsum’s commitment to Severn Trent over the last 18-months delivering a range of services to improve network resilience.
The work will cover the entirety of the wastewater network which supports around 8 million people across the Midlands. Ipsum has said its specialist team will utilise innovative no-dig techniques to improve asset health, reducing programme times, the effects on local communities and impact on the environment.
Simon Aylott-Cleaver, Severn Trent Framework Director at Ipsum, said:
“The contract extension is a testament to our ongoing partnership with Severn Trent and the hard work of the Ipsum team over the last 18-months.
“By utilising no-dig techniques, we’re able to reduce programme length and its impact on the local community. It’s important to us that we’re not just working in a community, but with it. So, our programme of works is designed to be as unintrusive as possible without compromising the quality of the repair.”
Kirsty Moore, Contract Manager at Severn Trent, said:
“Having the right delivery partners as part of our framework will ensure we can take care of and enhance our waste network. We are pleased to continue our partnership with the experienced and trusted team at Ipsum.”
Ipsum already works alongside Severn Trent. Its existing responsibilities cover three key areas including:
- Identifying areas of infiltration and relining pipes to reduce spills and pollution.
- Reducing risks on rising mains through relining critical assets.
- Supporting the delivery of the largest every WINEP (Water Industry National Environmental Programme).
Ipsum is a leading utility service provider specialising in engineering and maintenance services to support the UK’s water infrastructure.
