Galliford Try is also concluding the Stroud Sewer Strategy project, a partnership with Severn Trent.
This two-year construction effort aims to mitigate flood risks in the Stroud Five Valleys.
It includes the installation of four miles of new, larger pipes and the separation of surface water from the waste network.
The project has reached a milestone with the completion of a new trunk sewer, a main combined sewer outfall shaft tank, and its lid.
The 25m-deep and 25m-wide concrete-lined tank is expected to boost water storage capacity by 1,300% during heavy rainfall.
Galliford Try’s Environment business managing director Mark Shadrick said: “This project shows our commitment to building robust and sustainable infrastructure that makes a real difference to the lives of local people.
“The success of the Stroud Sewer Strategy is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team and partners. We look forward to seeing the long-term benefits this project will bring to the Stroud area.”
In addition, Galliford Try’s Building division announced in June this year that it secured two contracts worth a combined £101m.
