Cavan & Cootehill Water Supply Scheme
Client: Cavan County Council
Project Value: €15 million (estimated)
Services Provided: Preparation of Preliminary Report for Cootehill WSS
Review of Existing Preliminary Report for Cavan WSS
Detailed Design, Preparation of Contract Documents and Construction Supervision for Both Schemes
Key Features:
Cavan WSS currently supplies 3,500 m3/day to Cavan Town and environs abstracted from Lough Acanon. The existing Preliminary
Report proposes to expand the scheme to 7,700 m3/day, which is the estimated capacity of the existing source.
Cootehill WSS currently supplies 550 m3/day to the local town abstracted from Coragh Lough. The Preliminary Report is
required to assess the scheme requirements over the next twenty years.
The water treatment process for both schemes includes chemical coagulation, clarification, filtration, chlorination and
fluoridation.
The progression of the two schemes will require the expansion of the water treatment plants, provision of supply pipelines and
the construction of storage reservoirs.
The Consulting Engineer’s role includes assessment of scheme requirements, recommendations on procurement options, detailed
engineering design and management of DBO and Conventional Contracts.
This project is a Joint venture with Jennings O’Donovan & Partners, Consulting Engineers, Sligo
