NI Water has announced the completion of a £5 million improvement scheme at the River Faughan Water Pumping Station (WPS) in Campsie.
The project involved the upgrade of the existing River Faughan Water Pumping Station by replacing ageing assets to ensure a reliable water supply to Carmoney Water Treatment Works, including the replacement of the station’s weir gates to provide extra security and resilience.
Martin Gillen, Head of Water Capital Delivery at NI Water said:
“We are delighted to announce the completion of this major water improvement scheme, which will greatly benefit the local water infrastructure and resilience of the water supply for the North West, securing a reliable water supply to Carmoney Water Treatment Works, which supplies water to around 110,000 customers in the North West.
“This completed investment will be particularly important during the winter months and other unplanned events, to provide our customers with an improved, more reliable service.
“I would like to thank the wider NI Water project team including GRAHAM and Capita Real Estate & Infrastructure, who have successfully delivered this essential improvement project, whilst working closely with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure the scheme was delivered on schedule.”
The new multi-million pound facility is good news for the Council, as it will enhance the water infrastructure and the security of the water supply for customers in the area supplied by Carmoney Water Treatment Works.
GRAHAM was the main contractor for this project, delivering the project scope, including all permanent and temporary works associated with the detailed design, construction, installation and commissioning of the remedial works at the pumping station. Capita Real Estate & Infrastructure provided technical and project management support for the project.
