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.
