Peel Ports developed a partnership programme and secured long-term agreements with a number of consultants to support vital projects across its operations.
More specifically, a range of companies have been selected for the expertise and will support the delivery of the port operator’s capital investment programme for up to eight years.
The programme partners include Ramboll, Jacobs, Turner & Townsend, Currie & Brown UK, HaskoningDHV, Pell Frischmann, Tetra Tech, Tony Gee and Partners, Waterman Infrastructure & Environment and Arch Henderson.
According to Peel Ports, the framework will cover specialist consultancy services, project management, and quantity surveying to support key infrastructure projects and feasibility work across all group projects and engineering operations.
Projects such as the delivery of the new Gladstone passage outer lock gates at the Port of Liverpool and the development of a 22,524 m² rail-linked multi user warehouse, which is set to launch as a new Bulk and Steel facility in 2024, are typical of the future works the consultancy framework will be engaged on.
It is important to note that these two projects alone equate to a US$43.6 million investment.
