The four-year United Utilities Water Limited (UU) Motor Repair Services Framework agreement covers the overhaul, repair, rewind and testing of motors and encompasses all United Utilities sites. These include 96 water treatment works and 575 wastewater treatment works.
Houghton International carries out repair, maintenance and life extension services for motors, generators, pumps and all electrical rotating equipment, both in-situ and at their 135,000sq ft Newcastle upon Tyne facility.
Houghton International recently announced the introduction of a dedicated small works division for low voltage assets, enabling the business to provide a better and more efficient service for smaller machines.
Jessica Pooley, business development manager at Houghton International, said: “This is another great milestone for Houghton International and, following several other recent contract wins, we are investing in our staff and facilities to ensure we continue to deliver market-leading services across all sectors and service lines as the business grows.”
