Biwater/Response JV to target Irish water projects

Biwater Treatment has formed a JV with Cork-based engineering company Response Engineering to bid for DBO (Design, Build and Operate) projects in Ireland under the name Biwater Response Utilities

Biwater Treatment has formed a joint venture with Cork-based engineering company Response Engineering to bid for DBO (Design, Build and Operate) projects in Ireland under the name Biwater Response Utilities.

The JV also has an agreement to utilise Zenon membrane technologies in appropriate cases.

To date, Biwater has completed two Zenon MBR projects for wastewater treatment, these are at Campbeltown for Scottish Water, and at Buxton for Severn Trent.

It recently secured a third, for the Northern Ireland Water Service new Ballyclare WwTW in County Antrim.

With more than 200 clients, Response is well-known in the Irish water and wastewater treatment industry for the manufacture, supply, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of all types and sizes of treatment plant.

"DBO is winning increasing favour as the best long-term means of revitalising the Irish water and wastewater treatment infrastructure," said Response managing director Noel Hanley.

"The joint venture combines Response's local experience, reputation and presence with the Biwater financial strength and international experience of Design Build and Operate projects.".
