Coalisland based Geda Construction have completed a £2 million project on behalf of NI Water to replace Ballymagorry Wastewater Pumping Station in County Tyrone.
This major investment will enhance the local sewerage infrastructure and improve wastewater services for customers in Ballymagorry and the surrounding area.
The12-month construction project saw the complete replacement of the existing pumping station within a confined site, adjacent to Victoria Road, Ballymagorry.The existing pumping station was housed in a small building with poor access to operate and maintain the pumps. Additional screening and storage were also required to improve the quality of any pumped storm discharge to the Glenmornan River.
The replacement Pumping Station will now provide additional stormwater storage via a new 9m diameter and 5.6m deep concrete shaft, which includes a screen between the foul and stormwater storage, helping to enhance the environment and protect the water quality in the river.
Paul Hamilton, NI Water’s Project Manager said:“We are delighted to announce the completion of the Ballymagorry Wastewater Pumping Station, which will improve the sewerage infrastructure in the area, as well as enhancing the local environment by improving the water quality in the Glenmornan River.
“This investment will futureproof wastewater services and protect the local environment for many years to come, as well as improving access to the site, to help NI Water operate and maintain the site well into the future.”
The main contractor for this project was Coalisland based Geda Construction, with Project Management support fromRPS.
