Kier has been appointed by the Canal River Trust to the new GBP 800 million Civil Engineering Contract Framework, securing the maximum number of lots available to a single contractor. Lot 2a will involve works on the Trust's largest and most complex restoration and repair projects across the Southern region on assets such as reservoirs, embankments, culverts, tunnels and aqueducts, including responding to dynamic situations, such as flooding or canal breaches. Lots 2c and 2d include non-complex works across London the South-East and the West Midlands, respectively.

The work will be delivered by Kier Infrastructure's Regional Civil Engineering business and will help to protect canals, reservoirs and river navigations while improving the resilience of towns and cities to mitigate the effect of climate change.
