Design work has already started this month and construction is scheduled to finish in May 2021.
Murphy鈥檚 work includes anaerobic digesters, a sludge reception plant; sludge thickening plant and storage; combined heat & power and dual fuel boilers; sludge dewatering and lime treatment; cake storage; and a new liquor treatment plant.
鈥淎naerobic digestion is a fantastic technology, heating up sludge to produce a bio-gas which is used to generate electricity,鈥� said Yorkshire Water鈥檚 communications advisor, Mark Allsop.
Murphy chief executive John Murphy said 鈥淲e are confident that using our ever-growing engineering expertise and working closely with them, we will deliver a solution which provides outstanding value for their customers. We pride ourselves on being able deliver solutions that improve peoples鈥� lives, and look forward to doing just that on this project.鈥�
Murphy鈥檚 water sector capability was enhanced last year by the acquisition of Aecom Design Build Ireland (ADBI). Stuart Rothery, Murphy鈥檚 water sector director, said: 鈥淭his is a great example of our strategy in action. Building on our strengths and in particular, the process engineering expertise we acquired in 2017, we鈥檙e now in a position to really generate value for our UK clients by offering an integrated in-house service for complex water and wastewater design and construction.鈥�
