GALLIFORD TRY JOINT VENTURE SECURES £35 MILLION OF WATER WORK

Galliford Try, the housebuilding and construction group, announces that it has, in partnership with Imtech Process, been awarded a £35m contract to construct two advanced anaerobic digestion plants for Anglian Water at sewage works in Basildon and Ipswich.

The plants will generate energy from biogas as bi-products of the sludge treatment process and also produce fertilisers for recycling to land. Galliford Try has completed similar anaerobic digestion plants for the same client at King's Lynn in Norfolk and Great Billing in Northamptonshire.

Greg Fitzgerald, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, commented: 

"We are delighted to secure this additional business from an existing framework client. It builds on our track record in delivering both clean and waste water infrastructure projects as a leading infrastructure contractor to the water industry."
