ACCIONA has announced that it will upgrade the Coppermills water treatment facility, which provides one-third of the drinking water for Greater London in the UK.
The company will manage the design, construction, and commissioning of the new infrastructure.
Furthermore, enhancements will be made to the facility's electrical systems to ensure its long-term reliability.
Once the project is finalised, the plant will be transferred to Thames Water, the private company responsible for water distribution in the British capital.
A total investment of £400m ($531m) will be dedicated to fulfilling the drinking water requirements of London's expanding population.
The Coppermills facility, situated in the Lea Valley, caters to 32 boroughs, as well as London itself.
For this project, ACCIONA has teamed up with Jacobs, who will serve as the principal designer for the undertaking.
The partnership will concentrate on constructing a new pumping station and launching a contemporary filtration and treatment system.
Since establishing its presence in the UK in 2003, ACCIONA has engaged in numerous projects.
In early 2022, the company was awarded a contract to develop the Edmonton EcoPark waste-to-energy facility in North London.
This plant will have an annual treatment capacity of 700,000 tons (t) and will supply electricity and heating to around 50,000 households.
In 2019, the company also secured the NESS Energy Project in Aberdeen, Scotland, which has a treatment capacity of 150,000t per year. ACCIONA has a presence in more than 40 countries and generated €17.02bn ($19.09bn) in sales in 2023.
