ABPmer to lead Southampton impact assessment

This follows the announcement earlier this year that joint venture company, RPW (Southampton) Limited, owned by Morgan Sindall Investments Limited and funders Lucent Group, signed an agreement to revamp the landscape of Southampton’s waterfront.

“We are delighted to be part of the delivery team for this exciting waterside development,” said Stephen Hull, technical director, ABPmer.

“We bring to the project not only our in depth experience and knowledge of Southampton water’s natural and physical environment but also our understanding of the key issues for marine stakeholders,” he added.

ABPmer will be working with Terence O’Rourke to complete the related environmental statements for the $400m development.

Planning applications will be submitted in 2015 and works are set to being in 2016.

ABPmer, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Associated British Ports (ABP), specialises in coastal and marine processes.
