Ham Baker Engineering has successfully secured positions on two Scottish Water frameworks, further strengthening its role as a trusted partner in supporting the delivery of critical water infrastructure.

The business has been appointed to both lots of Scottish Water’s Distributor framework, covering Conventional Biological Trickling Filters (Lot 1) covering the supply and refurbishment of rotating distributors used in biological wastewater treatment, and Complete Nitrifying Filter Packages (Lot 2), designed for ammonia removal (nitrification) in wastewater treatment, complementing conventional biological filtration.

In addition, Ham Baker has secured a place on Lot 1 of  the Screens and Screenings Handling Framework, covering wastewater inlet screening systems that remove, wash, and compact debris while integrating with existing SCADA controls to meet Industry Mechanical and Electrical Specifications and Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations standards.

The frameworks have an initial four-year term, with the option of four one-year extensions, which  could continue to 2034, providing long-term opportunities to support investment programmes across the country.

Lee Bennett, Operations Director of Ham Baker Engineering, said: "Securing places on both the Distributor Framework and the Screens and Screenings Handling Framework is a fantastic achievement for the team, reinforcing our position as a leading provider of screening and distributor systems.

"These appointments strengthen our long-standing relationship with Scottish Water and we look forward to continuing our collaboration, as Scottish Water progresses its future investment programmes over the years ahead."
