Latest update
We have awarded a contract to Cascade Infrastructure Limited to manage design, construction, maintenance and financing of the Haweswater Aqueduct Resilience Programme. STRABAG UK will deliver the full design and build of the project – you can find the press release using the link below.
Landmark £3bn deal to overhaul 70-year-old aqueduct that supplies water to over 2.5 million customers in the North West
Detailed design will now take place. It will take a period of time, before construction work begins, to develop the design and the proposed timescales for each of the tunnel sections.
In the meantime, you may see preparation activity including further surveys and ground investigation taking place. We’ll continue liaising with the relevant landowners, stakeholders and customers in each area of our programme.
