Water Main, Sewer System & Related Project Construction in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

Pipeline projects: AMP7 project work ramping up in the current year is set to underpin revenue

The UK's extensive water main and sewer system requires regular maintenance and renewals. Industry regulator Ofwat commissions investment in the water and waste water infrastructure network through five-year Asset Management Plan (AMP) frameworks. AMP7 is the current iteration of Ofwat's investment cycle, with a planned £51 billion pumped into UK utilities over the five years through 2025. This was a step up from the £44 billion invested during AMP6 over the five years through 2020. The need to upgrade the UK's ageing water and waste water infrastructure network supplies contractors with a consistent stream of work, though the cyclical nature of AMPs induces a fair share of revenue volatility.

The industry includes contractors that build distribution lines to transport fluids and construct the buildings and structures to support these systems. This includes the construction of long-distance and urban pipelines, water mains, sewer systems, irrigation systems and pumping stations.
