The water industry is required by Ofwat (the UK water regulator) to follow 5-year AMP periods, which are designed to improve water quality and meet future water demands in the UK through a combination of repair, maintenance, renewal and new infrastructure projects. Anglian Water is the largest water and wastewater company in England and Wales, and serves an area of 27,500 km2 in the East of England, from the River Humber in the north to the River Thames in the south. The company supplies around 1,200 million liters of water each day to approximately 6 million industrial, domestic and commercial customers though a 36,000 km network of water mains and 142 wastewater treatment plants.

Skanska UK, in partnership with Aker Solutions (Joint Venture), form one of the seven members of the @One Alliance, which is responsible for delivering a large part of the Anglian Water AMP investment programs. Skanska has been involved in the project since 2000 with AMP3 and AMP4 and is now involved in AMP5, which covers the period between 2010 and 2015. Skanska works on multiple sites across the Anglian region and predominantly delivers design services, and civil and structural engineering expertise. Projects vary in size from US$ 30,000 to US$ 30 million and cover a range of activities, including minor civil works, such as pipelines, tanks, pump stations and small structures to the installation of primary, secondary and tertiary treatment equipment. Skanska has also conducted non-infrastructure design studies and developed a carbon calculator for Anglian Water. The Alliance is responsible for delivering over half of Anglian Water’s AMP5 capital program, which is worth in excess of US$ 1.5 billion in total and around US$ 150 million to Skanska between 2010 and 2015.

Anglian Water has an ambitious sustainability policy aimed at reducing carbon emissions, energy, waste and negative community impacts. Skanska is committed to meeting and exceeding these demands throughout the design and construction projects it is involved in. Skanska also has a dedicated Sustainability Manager that oversees its Anglian Water projects and coordinates sustainability work between the client and the Skanska project teams.
