A consortium involving Equitix has been awarded a £3 billion ($4 billion) contract for the landmark Haweswater Aqueduct Resilience Programme (HARP) by United Utilities.
This major infrastructure project will play a critical role in securing the long-term water supply for communities across northwest England. The project involves the design, construction, financing and maintenance of the 110-kilometer (68-mile) Haweswater Aqueduct, including six tunnel sections.
Originally constructed between 1933 and 1955, the aqueduct is undergoing a vital upgrade to ensure continued supply of 570 million liters of clean drinking water required each day to residents in Cumbria, Lancashire and Greater Manchester.
Equitix will work in partnership with STRABAG and GLIL Infrastructure for the duration of the project through the newly formed Cascade Infrastructure.
“Following years of hard work, we’re thankful to be entrusted with the contract for this transformative U.K
