Consultants chosen for Thames Tideway support services framework

14 Jul 16 Three companies have been selected to provide commercial support services for the £4.2bn Thames Tideway Tunnel, London's so-called ‘super-sewer’.

Under the framework agreement, Arcadis, Turner & Townsend and Gardiner & Theobold (G&T) will provide a variety of consultancy services on the project over the next four years.

They were selected following a competitive tender process

Mark Sneesby, chief operating officer and project client organisation Tideway, said: “We’re delighted to have Arcadis, Turner & Townsend and G&T on board. As we start main construction work on the Thames Tideway Tunnel, we are confident that having the knowledge and expertise of three of the most prominent consultancies will be a huge asset in our work to clean up London’s river.”

Arcadis partner Martyn Court said: “We have been working with Thames Water for the last four years, throughout the procurement phase and supporting the transfer of the project to its new owner last year. With a team of more than 30 people involved in the project – from business advisory and risk and cost specialists, through to water conveyancing and tunnelling experts – it’s a real testament to the strength of our combined expertise to be assured of our continued involvement.”
