Danaher & Walsh Enhances Resources to Support Long-Term Anglian Water Partnership

Danaher & Walsh Civil Engineering has made a major investment to support its long-term Anglian Water partnership.

The investment includes specialist camera technology, robotic cutters, a new grab lorry and planned CCTV capability. Together, these resources will strengthen our delivery through the AMP8 framework and beyond.

As a civil engineering contractor working across the East Midlands and East Anglia, Danaher & Walsh continues to invest in the tools, plant and equipment needed to support safe and efficient project delivery.

Investing in Sewer Inspection Technology

Danaher & Walsh has invested in new camera equipment to improve sewer inspection and condition assessment.

This technology will help our teams inspect sewer networks more effectively. It will also support faster decisions around maintenance, repairs and upgrades.

The investment includes a portable camera system for our RISC team, valued at £36,000. In addition, we have purchased two advanced 100-metre pan and rotate systems, valued at £26,000.

One system will support our Pipelining team. The other will support our Civil Engineering division.

Strengthening Pipelining Capability

The Pipelining team has also received two new 60-metre Solo Pro units, valued at £13,500.

These units will replace older frontline equipment. As a result, our teams can continue to deliver reliable inspections and high-quality service for clients.

This investment supports our wider focus on trenchless technology, drainage surveys and data-led decision-making.

Robotic Cutters for AMP8 Delivery

Danaher & Walsh has also placed orders for two IMS Lateral Robotic Micro Cutters.

This investment totals £170,000. The cutters are expected to arrive by mid-March 2025.

Once in service, they will support survey and robotic operations across the Anglian Water region. They will also help teams remove obstructions and support efficient pipeline maintenance.

These investments form part of a wider strategic enhancement programme. The first phase of equipment investment totals around £245,500.

New Grab Lorry Investment

Danaher & Walsh is also investing in a new grab lorry, valued at £181,000.

The vehicle is due for delivery in March 2025. It will support our Anglian Water teams with material deliveries and spoil removal across multiple sites.

This will help keep works moving efficiently. It will also improve site clearance and reduce reliance on external providers. Together, the Phase 1 investments total £426,500.

Future Investment Plans

Danaher & Walsh is already planning further investment.

Phase 2 forecasts an additional investment of around £130,000. This will include a bespoke CCTV van fully fitted with CCTV equipment and welfare facilities.

A potential Phase 3 investment may include a recycler jetting lorry. If approved, this would bring the total investment to around £1.1 million.

These future plans show our continued commitment to long-term service improvement.

Supporting Quality, Safety and Client Delivery

Dave Burkill, Framework Manager at Danaher & Walsh Civil Engineering, said:

“Danaher & Walsh is committed to continually investing in our infrastructure and expertise to meet and exceed client needs. This investment demonstrates our dedication to delivering excellence today and in the future.”

Long-Term Commitment to Anglian Water

These investments strengthen Danaher & Walsh’s ability to support Anglian Water during AMP8.

They will help our teams improve sewer inspection, pipeline maintenance, material handling and day-to-day site delivery.

In turn, this supports safer working, better service and more efficient outcomes for Anglian Water and the communities we serve.
