Wood has secured a $130 million, three-year contract extension to provide sewage and clean water supply services for Melbourne Water in Australia.
The Aberdeen-based group will provide maintenance and build infrastructure for treatment works, pumping stations and sewage trunk systems. It is the second renewal of the contract, for which Wood employs around 250 workers on sites including the Thomson Reservoir in the east to the Western Treatment Plant near Melbourne. Wood was first signed up in 2012.
Ralph Ellis, Wood’s operations services president in Australia, said: “We are delighted to continue our support of Melbourne Water’s critical treatment works and systems. Wood is providing critical infrastructure support for cities across the world and we are committed to building on our successful track record to ensure safe and reliable maintenance to support important water systems for the Melbourne area.
“This extension is testament to the strong relationship we have built over seven years on the contract and demonstrates our efficient delivery of services, focus on safety and commitment to deliver continuous improvement.”
