| | |
London, United Kingdom - Amec Foster Wheeler announces today its founding membership of the Capital Deliver Alliance ('the Alliance'), launched by UK Power Networks. Alongside three other key supply chain companies the Alliance will operate together as one body to implement a major £1 billion infrastructure programme over the next 12 years.
The four UK Power Networks partners are Amec Foster Wheeler, Clancy Docwra, McNicholas and Morrison Utilities Services.
Working collaboratively with UK Power Networks, the four companies will refurbish and upgrade electricity substations, cables and power lines across London, the East and South East to achieve greater efficiency and innovative ways of working - to deliver excellence in service to UK Power Networks' customers. Representatives from all the companies will be based in one London office to enable them to operate as one entity and progress an agreed work plan.
Marc Boulter, Managing Director of Amec Foster Wheeler's Transmission & Distribution business, said: "As part of the Alliance, we will use our global expertise and experience to help deliver safe, innovative resilient solutions to support the energy transition for London, the East, South-East and for our customer."
