In 2014 Yorkshire Water undertook investigations and an options appraisal for the works required on the site and developed a notional solution for the works. The outline design / notional solution included modifications to the existing primary tank desludge system, a new ASP (Activated Sludge Plant), including new final tanks, a new river outfall, a sludge storage and thickening facility.
Yorkshire Water commissioned MS2JV to undertake Investigation, Risk and Value assessment on the business risk and proposed notional solution.
MS2JV identified additional scope required to enable the proposed notional solution to be implemented and comply with the client’s Specifications and Asset Standards.
MS2JV produced a cost proposal for the client’s notional solution which was above the client’s budgetary constraints.
Furthermore, it was confirmed by MS2JV that the proposed notional solution would not address their business risks.
A detailed Risk and Value process, led by MS2JV, was undertaken to identify possible alternative solutions.
