MONTREAL, April 16, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - EDAROTH – a wholly
owned subsidiary of SNC-Lavalin's (TSX: SNC) Atkins business – is
to provide end-to-end development solutions as part of a £1bn
housing framework in Wales, United
Kingdom.
Under the four-year agreement, EDAROTH will work with local
authorities and housing associations to help meet housing targets
through the provision of design and engineering expertise, the
latest off-site manufacturing techniques and construction
management partnerships which allow energy-efficient new homes to
be built at speed, volume and at a significantly reduced whole life
cost compared to traditional new builds.
EDAROTH's end-to-end development solutions also prioritise
brownfield and under-utilised land within existing communities to
build homes which help address social and economic challenges.
"There is a pressing need for affordable homes in the UK and
elsewhere - this global challenge is a long-standing problem which
will only be solved through innovation and new ways of working,"
said Philip Hoare, President,
Atkins, Engineering, Design & Project Management,
SNC-Lavalin.
"Our place on this framework is a significant milestone for
EDAROTH as we look to work with in partnership with clients to
deliver carefully considered, sustainable housing developments
which benefit from cutting edge digital design, offsite manufacture
and assembly."
EDAROTH recently unveiled its first completed development which
saw much needed social housing delivered in Lambeth, south
London.
