They will also explain some of the logistic challenges that they are grappling encompassing major earth works and civil engineering activities.As we move towards Net Zero, we will explore how these projects point us in the right direction. We will also consider the wider environmental and social benefits driving the programme.Rob Smith joined Thames Water in March 2024 to lead the project delivery for SESRO. Rob has over 20 years’ experience in managing infrastructure projects, having worked as a principal engineer and project manager for Parsons Brinkerhoff, JMP consultants and with HS2 - leading the Phase 2b Rail Systems and Application Design contract.Mark has over 20 years’ experience in water industry town planning and stakeholder engagement, having worked with Thames Water, Mott MacDonald and Jacobs before being seconded back into Thames Water again to support on SESRO and the Severn to Thames Transfer.The Thames Valley Group team look forward to having this unsung and largely unrecognised large-scale construction and operational supply chain explained to them.Booking for Members - Free & Non-Members -£5.00 inc.
