GALLIFORD TRY APPOINTED TO £98M INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

Galliford Try, the UK construction group, announces that it has signed three new infrastructure contracts totalling £98 million.

First, the Group's Environment business will be installing a new £33 million pipeline in South London, in Thames Water's Riverside Flow Monitoring Zone, to meet an anticipated increase in demand.

Second, the Environment business has been appointed to a £31 million contract to install a new 9km clean water pipeline connecting the Netley Water Treatment Works in the east of Guildford, Surrey with the main reservoir network to the west.

Finally, the Highways business has signed a £34 million contract to redevelop the A629 route into central Halifax, including pedestrianising key access areas and re-routing access to the town's railway station while removing traffic from the centre.

We look forward to working with Thames Water and Calderdale Council to provide their local communities with the high-quality public infrastructure that will serve them for years to come."
