Waterman extends relationship with London Borough of Bexley

Engineering and environmental consultancy Waterman Group announced confirmation of a two-year extension to its existing partnership term contract with the London Borough of Bexley on Tuesday, until September 2019.

The London-listed firm said the appointment was an important part of the long-term regeneration framework of the borough's growth strategy for its economic, environmental and social regeneration.

It said it would involve the provision of traffic and transportation engineering services, civil engineering, highways and infrastructure, bridgeworks, drainage, principal designers and technical staff secondment.

Over the last 12 months, Waterman said its team had successfully delivered the replacement of Bexley High Street Bridge, the second stage of the Bexleyheath Town Centre Revitalisation on public realm design adjacent to the new Crossrail station at Abbey Wood.

The framework was anticipated to generate annual fees of about £1.7m to Waterman.

“We are extremely proud of our continued collaboration with London Borough of Bexley as it enters its 21st year,” said CEO Nick Taylor.

“This is one of many prestigious frameworks in the Public sector which we look forward to developing further.”
