Morrison wins water project


Morrison has tapped into a £40m contract for British Waterways to refurbish and repair the canal network throughout the Midlands, Wales and South West England.

The deal will initially run for four years, with an option to extend by a further two years.

The value of individual projects within the overall scheme will range from £20,000 to £1.5m and includes work on bridges, aqueducts, locks, weirs and embankments.

The deal is part of British Waterway's Omnibus scheme, set up in 2000. The aim is for a single contractor to work in partnership with the client to project manage all engineering maintenance schemes within a particular region.

Other Omnibus regions include: the South - where Nuttall is the main contractor; the North East - Galliford; and the North West - Dew.
