Kildare Water Strategy - Phase 1A & B
Client: Kildare County Council
Project Value: €20 million (estimated), in four contract packages.
Services Provided: Preliminary Report, EPANET Modelling, Route Selection, Detailed Design, preparation of Tender and Contract Documents, Project Management and Construction Supervision.
Key Features: This project arises out of a major evaluation study of the water requirements in County Kildare, carried out in 1999. In addition to identifying an emerging demand increase in Naas, the study led to the strategic decision by Kildare that they should develop their own water resources, and extract from the River Barrow basin, rather than the traditional supply source i.e. Ballymore Eustace WTW.
Watermain & Storage:
- 45Km of trunk watermain in sizes up to 700mm dia.
- New 7, 500m3 capacity reservoir at Ardscull
The four contracts are:
Contract 1 - Ballymore Eustace WTW to Naas
Contract 2 - Ballymore Eustace to Old Kilcullen reservoir
Contract 3a - Old Kilcullen reservoir to proposed Ardscull reservoir
Contract 3b - Ardscull reservoir to Athy (including the reservoir)
This project is a Joint venture with the Halcrow Group
