The tank covers are structures that fit over treatment plants, preventing process gases from entering the atmosphere. Severn Trent intends to reduce these emissions by 19,618t CO2e. Welsh subsidiary Hafren Dyfrdwy has also committed to emissions reduction on one site.
The scope includes Activated Sludge Plant (ASP) lanes and Liquor Treatment Plant (LTP) tanks associated with wastewater and sludge treatment processes. These assets operate continuously and contain biologically active, aerated liquors that generate off-gases during normal operation.
The successful suppliers will be required to design, manufacture, supply, deliver, install, test and commission impermeable tank cover systems for Activated Sludge Plants (ASPs) and Liquor Treatment Plants (LTPs).
The anticipated scope includes all activities necessary to provide a complete and operational tank cover solution, including design development, calculations, drawings, fabrication, quality assurance, delivery, installation, testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance documentation and warranties.
The successful suppliers will be expected to assess the suitability of existing tank structures to support the proposed cover system, including consideration of structural condition, load paths, connection methodology and access requirements. Intrusive investigations and structural remediation works are not currently anticipated to form part of the scope unless specifically instructed.
Contracts under the framework are due to commence in January 2027.
