('Van
Elle', the 'Company' or the 'Group')
Framework Delivery
Partnership
Van Elle Holdings plc (AIM: VANL),
the UK's largest ground engineering contractor, has been confirmed
as one of the delivery partners in Southern Renewals Enterprise's
£1.4bn 10-year building and civils minor works framework programme
for Network Rail's Southern region.
The Company will be allocated
reactive, planned maintenance and small renewals projects across
the Kent, Sussex, and Wessex routes covering control periods 7 and
8.
Van Elle's award under the civils
portfolio covers earthworks and drainage, with a specific emphasis
on slope stability in response to climate change related
infrastructure investment. Van Elle's involvement in the
framework has the potential to run for the full 10 years, depending
on performance.
Chief Executive Officer, Mark Cutler
commented. 'We are delighted to be announced as one of
the framework's specialist partners for CP7 and CP8 in the Southern
region. This is an important milestone for Van Elle; we typically
deliver our services through tier 1 principal contractors with whom
we enjoy high levels of repeat business, but as part of the
Southern Renewals Enterprise model in this framework for Network
Rail, we will be involved earlier, with much greater workload
visibility. This will enable us to collaborate with other
framework partners and assist in the early development of efficient
solutions using our breadth of specialist geotechnical and rail
engineering capabilities."
