NI Water has awarded a major new £100 million water improvement contract to four local companies: Maghera based company, BSG Civil Engineering, Dunmurry based Farrans Construction and Belfast based companies Lagan Construction Group and Meridian Utilities.
The four contractors will be improving the watermains infrastructure throughout Northern Ireland over the next four years, improving the reliability and security of the water supply as well as improving water quality.
NI Water said the programme of work would improve the water supply network and also assist in supporting a growing economy by boosting employment in the four companies, as well as local sub-contractors.
Sara Venning, NI Water’s Chief Executive commented:
“This is one of NI Water’s largest contracts, which will deliver major improvements to the watermains infrastructure throughout Northern Ireland. We are confident that the contract will provide excellent value for money for NI Water, while meeting our own ambitious targets of upgrading approximately 150km of watermains per year. The scheme will bring many benefits by improving water quality and security of the water supply, as well as the environmental benefits such as reducing leakage.”
