VIP Polymers Wins UKSTT 2025 Award for Millennium Main Rehabilitation
VIP-Polymers Ltd, in partnership with Mgroup, Thames Water, DWG Infraco Ltd and AECOM, is proud to have won the UKSTT “Renovation – Large Project (>£350K)” Award 2025 for the Millennium Main rehabilitation project.
The award, presented at the UKSTT Awards Dinner on 2nd October, recognises the team’s innovative and collaborative approach to restoring one of London’s key water mains using trenchless technology.
A Vital Water Main Brought Back to Life
The Millennium Main, which runs from Nunhead Reservoir to Deptford, supplies water to the growing Greenwich Peninsula. After years of deterioration,
Thames Water commissioned a major rehabilitation to ensure long-term reliability. The £21 million project restored performance and protected supply for thousands of London residents.
VIP’s Role
VIP Polymers supplied its VIP-Weco No-Dig Pipe Repair System, chosen for its speed of installation, proven durability, and compliance with drinking water standards. The system allowed repairs to be completed from inside the pipeline, avoiding excavation and minimising disruption while delivering long-term performance.
“Seeing our VIP-Weco technology play a key role in this award-winning project is something we’re incredibly proud of. It shows what’s possible when innovation and collaboration come together to protect vital water infrastructure,” said Jim Shaw, Sales Director, VIP Polymers Ltd.
