I SKILLED people I A first for Clancy Docwra We’re pleased to announce that in August we commenced our first major Power Framework contract, which is now progressing well. This £10m per annum contract for Scottish Power is for three years, with an option to extend to five years, and covers Edinburgh, Borders, Central and Fyfe, and Dumfries in Scotland, plus Merseyside and Cheshire in England. The Power Framework contract was won after a nine month tender process and covers three key work streams - faults, connections and planned works - including excavation, backfill and reinstatement of works, and installation of electric and ancillary cables, with an option and capability for jointing works up to and including 33kV. At the start of the contract we carried out a TUPE process from the previous provider involving 100 staff in Scotland and 50 in Northern England, and this was followed by a subsequent restructure. We have also implemented Mobile-i, Clancy Docwra's innovative mobile workforce management system, which is already in use on the Scottish Water contract. 11kV reinforcement - Stirling Two key projects we are working on are Stirling Town Centre and the Ineos Petroleum and Gas Refinery at Grangemouth. In Stirling town centre, we are working in partnership with Stirling Council and Scottish power to complete a 11kv reinforcement project that has been has been outstanding for seven years - and which three previous contractors have been unable to complete, due to historic ground conditions in this particular area of volcanic rock . We have successfully completed the first 100m section after engaging a specialist drilling company which has new and innovative equipment, and which agreed to take the challenge on! By carrying out this type of operation, we have reduced the disruption to the local businesses and minimised traffic management issues. When the work is complete it will reinforce the entire network within Stirling town centre, which has previously been at risk during the winter period due to load requirements. Meanwhile, at the Ineos Petroleum and Gas Refinery in Grangemouth, we have been carrying out a very challenging project under extreme scrutiny, as Clancy Docwra Senior Operations Manager Kevin Halpin explains: “The project involved hand digging a 90m long track to accommodate a new 11kV power cable, as well as excavating two joint bays which are 10m by 6m at the top and reducing to 2m square at the bottom, by 2.5m deep. We also had to dig these by hand, due to the nature of the site and the pipe line in the area. Emergency call out for Scottish Power Once this stage was complete, the holes were then stepped back, and scaffolding was constructed over the top, so that our operators could be winched down into the holes, which they tell us was an interesting experience. We’re pleased to say that Ineos supplied rescue teams plus a Health and Safety advisor to support us on this project!” All the work is now complete and we are in the process of backfilling the job.

I SKILLED people I Policy Statements The Clancy Group Plc has published a revision to its Group Policy Statements. The three Statements are: Health Safety and Environment Customers and Quality People. In a joint statement, Group Human Resources Manager, Thierry Euvrard, Group Governance and Compliance Manager, Ian Housley and Group Health, Safety and Environment Manager, Martin Cross, said, “These revisions to our Policy Statements strengthen and reiterate our commitment to ensuring that all our activities are conducted in a safe, sustainable and corporately responsible way.” Southern Water Race Day The real winners of Southern Water’s sixth charity race day have received their prizes. The fundraising event, at Fontwell Park Racecourse near Arundel on October 6, brought in £35,000 for seven charities. They are: WaterAid, Asthma Allergy and Inflammation Research (AAIR), Cancer Research UK, the RNLI, St Barnabas House Hospice, the Air Ambulance Trust and Help for Heroes. Representatives from the charities returned to Fontwell Park to receive their cheques. Sloane Vaughan, Community Fundraising Manager for St Barnabas House, thanked Southern Water for the £5,000 donation. She said: “It was a great day and very well supported. Your staff were fantastic and the cheque presentation day was enjoyable too.” Above and Beyond the Call of Duty Providing an excellent service for our customer's customers is one of our primary responsibilities, and we're hopeful that the residents of Mill Vale Meadows, a small privately owned close in Milland Village in West Sussex, will agree that we have achieved this aim. As a private road, it is the residents' responsibility to manage and maintain the road surface, so when they discovered that Clancy Docwra was going to be carrying out some essential water main works on behalf of Southern Water, they decided to hold off on some road repairs they were planning until after our activities were complete. As a goodwill gesture, when our project was finished in October, we made the decision to carry out the work for them - which involved donating one of our gangs for the day, along with the necessary equipment and materials, to give residents the repairs that they had been planning! 10 I Winter Issue
