IES Utilities Group has announced its successful appointment to Wessex Water’s newly established £65 million Civils Support Framework, selected to support the delivery of vital civils, water and wastewater infrastructure works across the Wessex Water region for the duration of the AMP8 period and beyond.

“We are thrilled to have been awarded a place on Wessex Water’s Civils Support Framework,” said Ged Shannon, MD at IES Utilities Group. “This opportunity reflects our team’s dedication to delivering high-quality utility services and our commitment to supporting sustainable infrastructures. We’re excited to work alongside Wessex Water and contribute to the continued resilience and reliability of their network.”

The framework covers a comprehensive range of works, including:

  • Site works, general civils, and groundworks support
  • Delivery of new water mains and trenchless installations such as pipe bursting and slip lining
  • Potable water infrastructure, including repairs, meter and valve installations, boundary boxes, and other clean water assets
  • Wastewater infrastructure, from emergency and planned works on sewers, manholes, and rising mains to tidal flap repairs

IES said the appointment to this framework marks a significant milestone, as it continues to expand its presence in the utility infrastructure sector, bringing what it describes as “deep expertise” across water, energy, and telecoms into new collaborative partnerships.
