Project Outline The £120m+ Oswestry Water Treatment Improvement Project, which started in May 2022, entered its second year of construction. It is being delivered by Murphy as part of the Advance Plus joint venture for United Utilities. Now in mid-cycle, the project will upgrade water quality for the people of Liverpool. Throughout 2023 around 170 people worked within the confines of the existing works, and over 900 wagon loads of concrete were placed to bases and walls of over 7.5m height. Our Self-Delivery Concrete teams have handed over the water-tight structures to the next project phase, where our MEICA team and supply chain partners will pick up in late 2024. We are also proud to have supported the amazing work of the local Hope Hospice and, most recently, the Oswestry Heritage Railway Community Group. These Giving Back Days come from our One Team approach and it is rewarding to see the project’s contribution to the local area. KEY FACTS Over 900 wagon loads of concrete were placed to bases and walls of over 7.5m height. 10,000m3 of concrete was poured in 2023 4,000 lorry journeys were avoided by recycling aggregates on site
