Utilities contractor J Browne has recently secured a formidable £130m contract with Thames Water, marking a significant extension of their existing partnership. This pivotal contract encompasses the renewal of pipework in six district metered areas (DMAs) within the boroughs of Greenwich, Brent, Enfield, Lambeth, and Guildford. With this new agreement, Browne’s total secured contracts with Thames Water now exceed £400m for the asset management period 8 (AMP8).
Paul McMahon, the Managing Director of Browne, expressed his delight in extending services through the Tranche G 6DMA mains renewal programme. He attributed this achievement to the dedication of their team, highlighting a data-driven, agile, and efficient approach that has powered their success. McMahon also underscored the robust partnership with Thames Water, reflecting a shared commitment to upgrading London’s water infrastructure.
Barry Jones, Operations Director for the programme’s delivery, viewed this contract as a unique opportunity to enhance critical infrastructure throughout London and the southeast. Based on Browne’s impressive track record, which includes replacing over 70 kilometres of Victorian mains under AMP7 across more than 100 schemes, the company has demonstrated its ability to reduce client takeover timescales from 30 days to an average of just eight days post-completion. This experience positions Browne favourably to manage and execute the concurrent DMA contracts efficiently, ensuring ongoing success and improved service delivery for Thames Water and the communities involved.
Browne’s strategic collaboration with Thames Water exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to modernising essential infrastructure across London and the southeast.
