Since 2001 we have been working with the Environment Agency as a Minor Works Framework Contractor.

In 2008 we were awarded a 5 year framework for the North East and Yorkshire hydrometric networks valued at approximately £2.0 million per annum.

The term maintenance framework contract with the Environment Agency is for the provision of environmental improvements and flood relief works consisting of the following:

  • piling works
  • flood defence embankments
  • river diversions
  • river improvements
  • concrete structures
  • erosion protection
  • revetment works
  • culverts and drainage
  • weirs
  • gauging station infrastructure
  • fish passes
  • minor building works
  • trash screens and safety rails
  • creating habitats for wildlife
  • working in environmentally sensitive areas, e.g. SSSI sites

In addition to the above, and due to nature of individual projects, temporary works have often been necessary, which include constructing access roads, fencing, tree felling, cofferdams, stanking, fluming and over-pumping.

The contract is based on NEC Short Contract over five years with works packages up to £0.25 million.
