S&P 500 falls on pressure from retail stocks, weak jobless claims
LONDON - Costain Group PLC, a British construction and engineering company, has been awarded a contract extension by Anglian Water to deliver an additional 260 kilometers of strategic pipeline over the next five years. This extension is a part of the Strategic Pipeline Alliance (SPA) and aims to enhance water supply resilience in the East of England, particularly in response to drought and climate change challenges.
The SPA, which includes Costain as a key partner, was initially tasked with constructing a pipeline to transfer water from regions with surplus to those experiencing scarcity. With this new extension, the total length of the pipeline will reach 580 kilometers, significantly bolstering the water infrastructure in East Anglia.
Alex Vaughan, CEO of Costain, emphasized the importance of sustainable water management in the UK, stating that the company is committed to creating a sustainable future and is pleased to continue collaborating with Anglian Water and SPA partners. He also highlighted that this latest contract extension contributes to Costain’s strong position in the water industry through the Asset Management Plan period 8 (AMP8), part of a £5.4 billion forward work position reported at the end of 2024.
The water industry is facing a period of substantial investment over the next decade, focusing on critical areas like resilience to address the impacts of climate change. Costain’s involvement with Anglian Water through AMP7 has already established a foundation for addressing these challenges, and the extension into AMP8 signifies continued efforts to meet regulatory commitments.
This announcement is based on a press release statement from Costain Group PLC and reflects the company’s ongoing partnership with Anglian Water in developing essential infrastructure to support water supply resilience in the UK.
