NI Water has completed a £3.5 million programme of improvements at Newcastle Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTW) ahead of the start of the bathing water season on 1st June.
The significant programme of work - carried out by Murphy Dawson Wam JV - involved the upgrade of the three-stage treatment process to ensure that the WwTW continues to produce a high-quality effluent.
Speaking about the work, Sean Milligan, NI Water Senior Project Manager said:
“The work within the existing facility at South Promenade included the installation of new filtration equipment as well as a modern UV system. This important NI Water investment will ensure that Newcastle WwTW continues to meet bathing water quality standards while helping to support future growth in the town.
“The sequence of work was carefully managed to ensure there was no deterioration in effluent quality during the construction period. I would like to thank the project team from Murphy Dawson Wam and McAdam as well as our operational colleagues for their meticulous coordination of deliveries and supply chain activities to allow this upgrade to be completed within programme and without any impact to normal operations at the treatment plant.
“This type of collaboration between our framework partners and our wastewater treatment works operations team is integral to successfully delivering these vital capital delivery upgrade projects.
