KBR has been awarded a five-year project management and procurement (PMP) contract by SA Water to jointly manage the delivery of the metropolitan capital works program for Adelaide.

 

The contract represents one of the largest government water contracts for project management services to the water industry awarded in South Australia. Its final value will depend on the size of the SA Water capital plan.

 

KBR will provide project planning, project management, procurement and construction management for projects ranging from $500,000 to $11 million dollars for the water utility.

 

Under the PMP, SA Water and KBR will work closely together to deliver the best value for the capital works program. KBR has completed many projects for SA Water, including multiple improvements to the Bolivar wastewater treatment plant.

 

“Having played a key role in delivering many large water infrastructure projects in South Australia for more than 15 years, KBR is proud to continue our long-standing relationship with SA Water,” said Colin Elliott, President, KBR Infrastructure & Minerals.

 

“We will bring together our local expertise in the water market sector, and experience from similar programs of works elsewhere in the world to deliver these services.”
