CMDP is a joint venture between Costain and MWHT and delivers a range of schemes to maintain and improve Southern Water’s water supply and wastewater treatment works in the eastern half its region (Kent & Sussex)
CMDP has recently had its contract to provide capital delivery services to Southern Water renewed for the next seven years. This coincides with Southern Water embarking on their most far-reaching and ambitious investment programme since privatisation in 1989.
Consequently, CMDP is expecting a significant increase in the number and size of projects it will deliver on behalf of Southern Water.
