Yorkshire Water has awarded contracts worth £553 million for the repair and maintenance of its drinking water system.

Network Plus will support Yorkshire Water with end-to-end service, from initial planning and work planning to the delivery of new connections. “I make a sincere promise to assure all employees that we will not use the government`s vacation program or make downsizing during this time.

Stantec Investor Contact Sonia Kirby Stantec Investor Relations T: 780-616-2785 E: sonia.kirby@stantec.com Morrison Utility Services and Network Plus, appointed by Yorkshire Water, involve an investment of approximately £1.5 billion, and supply chain partners must demonstrate the highest standards of process reliability and innovation. Yorkshire Water has introduced a “Six Capitals Model” philosophy that encourages supply chain partners to think beyond traditional construction and engineering requirements. The model includes finance capital, industrial capital, natural capital, social capital, human capital and intellectual capital, and each of these elements must be taken into account in the project design. This approach is adopted because the company wants to generate environmental, sustainable and social results, as well as purely economic and financial results.
