Operations Management International, Inc. (OMI) has signed a strategic alliance with the United Kingdom's largest water and wastewater company.
Specializing in public-private partnerships for the operations and maintenance of municipal water and wastewater utilities, OMI and Thames Water will work together to pursue selected new business opportunities in the U.S. and Canada.
"OMI and Thames Water share corporate values and objectives, an unparalleled commitment to quality and a focus on customer service," says OMI Executive Vice President Gary Miller. "Combining forces to pursue key projects in the U.S. and Canada will not only create new growth opportunities for both organizations but enable us to deliver a higher level of service to future customers served by the partnership."
Headquartered in Denver, Colo., OMI is one of the nation's leading private operators of water and wastewater systems. OMI operates more than 150 facilities for customers in government and industry. Part of the employee-owned CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd., OMI's record for safety and environmental compliance is unparalleled, with dozens of awards from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and state and local environmental organizations.
Thames Water is the United Kingdom's largest water and wastewater company, serving 12 million customers in London and the Thames Valley. Worldwide, the company is the third largest, serving over 23 million customers. Its North American offices are in Stamford, Conn.
"This collaboration makes sense," says Thames Water U.S. President David Chardovoyne. "We are both acknowledged leaders in the field of water and wastewater services, and our combined expertise will ensure that we deliver innovative and cost-effective solutions to our customers."
