As part of the Outstrays to Skeffling Managed Realignment scheme, JBA Bentley showcased its expertise in pumping station design by delivering a new facility equipped with three Archimedes screw pumps, advanced weed screening and waste handling systems, and a dedicated eel pass solution to ensure ecological compliance- all supported by a SIL Level 2-rated control system for safe and efficient operation.
Innovation, independence, and collaboration
One of JBA Bentley’ s competitive advantages is its capability to provide safe and efficient fully integrated design and build services, primarily through its own design and construction resources. A key aspect of the collaboration with JN Bentley is this integrated approach, which is highly valued by clients. Both companies hold equal partner status within the joint venture, a structure that is uncommon in the industry. As a result of this arrangement, their successes are shared and their teams are jointly motivated, dedicated to delivering the best outcomes for clients. The joint venture’ s ability to rely on JBA’ s own design resources helps reduce the risk of delays, thus enabling the two companies to be more flexible in terms of design and innovative construction solutions that may not be available in traditional design-andconstruct relationships. Central to this success is a common culture and strong relationships built between both teams.
Fostering partnerships and maintaining its independent status have been key to JBA’ s growth and innovation over the past three decades. The company’ s collaborative spirit not only strengthens its market position but also enhances the value it delivers to clients across diverse sectors. 168
