The new £3m waste water pumping station at Huguenot Drive in Lisburn has been unveiled by Northern Ireland Water. The pumping station currently serves around 70% of the Lisburn City population and supplements the original station built in 1975.
Key work carried out by GRAHAM includes construction of a new ‘foul’ pumping station which will provide an enhanced quality of service to Northern Ireland Water customers in Lisburn and installation of a new generator to deal with ‘emergency’ scenarios.
Close to the River Lagan the area was redeveloped in conjunction with the Lisburn City Council’s major environmental improvement scheme due to commence in the Autumn which aims to improve river quality, meet environmental standards and hopefully reduce maintenance costs.
Work commenced at the pumping station in June 2008 and was recently completed in July 2009 with an estimated value of £2m.
