PARTNERING & ALLIANCING
Black & Veatch are part of more Partnering projects, Alliances
and Frameworks than any other multi-professional engineering
company in the UK Water Industry. This style of work is our
preferred way of doing business in the UK, and accounts for
75% of our business in the water industry. Amongst many others
we have delivered solutions for Thames Water, Southern Water,
Welsh Water and the Heathrow Terminal 5 team for BAA.
We have numerous co-located "Client-Consultant-Contractor" teams
working in a fully integrated manner, committed to the overall
success of their team's objectives. These relationships take
many forms: from single project partnership; through long term
programmes of work; to simple frameworks for our services.
Our people are co-located alongside clients and are able to
use their skills throughout the project/programme process,
contributing in an exceptional way to deliver real value to
all. Our people are proactive contributors to these teams,
working in close co-operation in mutually beneficial relationships
with our clients and with their suppliers.
Fundamental to our approach is the ability to focus the world-wide
expertise of Black & Veatch at a local level using people
with local knowledge, drawing upon the expertise of the whole
Black & Veatch organisation. We promote this though our
network of offices both in the UK and overseas, and through
the co-located alliance teams.
We use the same philosophy overseas. Our network of local
offices and partners focuses the efforts of our experts. We
provide the optimum local solution using our global expertise.
Our people also work within client organisations around the
world. This is mutually beneficial, allowing us to offer our
expertise whilst developing a greater understanding of the
local situation.
