SEPA

Civil and structural design

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) contract with Millard Consulting was renewed in 2009.

This contract was won in open tender, with SEPA receiving numerous other bids. The new contract is for two years. Millard Consulting will continue to work alongside lead consultant, Bell Ingram, with whom Millard has been successfully providing a service to SEPA since 2001.

This continued, robust, relationship clearly demonstrates the level of satisfaction that SEPA have with the service provided by this team. Millard Consulting’s role was recently expanded, with the award of civil engineering and structural design, as well as preparation of contract documentation for nine flood warning gauging stations on a number of rivers. Further gauging station work is anticipated.

Projects have have included refurbishment and extensions to 13 SEPA offices. As the environment agency for Scotland, SEPA has set itself stringent sustainability objectives. These have included rainwater harvesting systems and the development of renewable energy sources. Many of the project s for SEPA have required very short timescales, to minimise disruption and meet budgetary / funding regimes.
