Rotork intelligent electric valve actuators have been installed to update and secure the operation of machinery that controls the dewatering of dry docks.
Rotork will supply electric valve actuators, control systems and associated services, including the retrofitting of new actuators on existing valves and penstocks, at all Thames Water operated sites in the UK.
Rotork's John Waters, who negotiated the framework agreement, explains: "The Thames Water framework is amongst the most prestigious contracts available to equipment manufacturers such as Rotork; we knew that we would have to overcome stiff competition to succeed.
"In the event, the technical merit and reliability of our products, combined with our track record and ability to deliver within the strict parameters demanded, convinced Thames Water to award us a second term." Rotork has been amongst the pioneers in establishing framework agreements with the UK's water and waste treatment companies.
In addition to Thames Water, the company has similar relationships with Severn Trent, Southern Water, South West Water, Northumberland Water and East of Scotland Water.
