Jacobs To Deliver Modelling Support For Water Infrastructure
Jacobs has been chosen by United Utilities to deliver modelling support for water infrastructure through the asset management period (AMP8), which runs from 2025 to 2030.
Jacobs will provide water network and water quality modelling services across capital programmes, asset management and operations. The Jacobs team will work closely with United Utilities and its supply chain to identify opportunities to use innovation and cutting-edge modelling techniques to maximise value.
"Addressing challenges like climate change, water security and aging infrastructure, managing this essential resource has never been more complex for the water sector," said Jacobs Senior Vice President Kate Kenny. "Our global water infrastructure solutions and our 20+ years' experience working in the region will support United Utilities’ largest ever programme to advance environmental performance and resilient water services across North West England."
United Utilities Capital Delivery Director Jane Simpson said: "Our new network modelling collaboration will help us make informed decisions across operations and capital investment programmes by monitoring rivers, catchment land, and coastal infrastructure to see where we can improve our services and meet supply needs of the future. These specialists, along with those already appointed, will play an important role in helping to deliver our ambitious proposals."
The initial term of the agreement with United Utilities is five years, with additional options to extend for up to a total duration of 11 years.
United Utilities provides water and wastewater services to around seven million people, supplying three million households and 200,000 business premises.
