OCU was appointed to deliver specialist network maintenance services under Lot 8 of United Utilities’ framework agreement, covering noncore clean water infrastructure across the North West. The contract includes complex repairs to critical assets such as aqueducts and pipe bridges, often located in remote or restricted-access areas.

One of the key programmes within the lot is the refurbishment and relining of the historic Lake Vyrnwy Aqueduct - a major project spanning multiple years. Working closely with United Utilities, OCU is providing design, delivery and stakeholder coordination services across a diverse and technically challenging portfolio.
