Coffey is a leading specialist in civil engineering and water infrastructure and is proud to announce its latest contract award from Severn Trent. Our team has been entrusted with delivering Section C of the crucial Trimpley to Hampton Loade pipeline project, a significant development set to enhance water resilience for over 65,000 properties across the region.
The Trimpley to Hampton Loade pipeline is a major infrastructure project spanning 12.0 km from Trimpley Top Reservoir near Kidderminster to Hampton Loade Water Treatment Works in Shropshire. This vital upgrade will significantly bolster Severn Trent’s network resilience, ensuring a more reliable water supply for thousands of households and businesses.
Coffey is currently work in on Section A (Nearing Completion) and Section B (Ongoing since May 2024): which is 5.5 km of 500 mm diameter pipeline, utilising Directional Drilling and Open Cut Installation methods.
Section C: Coffey’s Latest Award
Coffey’s involvement focuses on Section C, a 3.5 km stretch of 500 mm diameter pipeline.
Our scope of work includes:
- Installation of 1,200 m of Directional Drilled pipeline
- Laying 2,300 m of open cut pipework
- Connecting pipework to Trimpley reservoir
- Chlorination of the main Trimpley pipeline
Construction is set to commence in early August 2024, building upon the progress already made in Sections A and B of the project.
Simon Papiernik, Operations Director, UK at Coffey, commented on the contract award:
“The Trimpley to Hampton Loade pipeline is a perfect example of the kind of project that drives us at Coffey. It combines technical complexity with real-world impact. We’re not just laying pipes; we’re helping to secure a reliable water supply for over 65,000 properties. It’s this blend of engineering excellence and community benefit that makes our work truly rewarding.”
