North Coast Scheme Cleans Up With Major Award

Oct 2008

The Graham civils team, in the form of the Biwater Graham JV, has picked up the CEF/Specify Award for the Infrastructure Water Category with the North Coast Waste Water Treatment Works Scheme at a Gala Awards event at the Culloden Hotel.

The two-year scheme has comprised the construction of a new two-stage wastewater treatment works, the building or refurbishment of 16 pumping stations, the laying of 25km of pipelines and the construction of a new 1.2km long sea outfall.

The extensive scheme covers coastal and inland sites linked over an area of 450sq/km. It forms one of NI Water’s largest ever single capital investment projects and was undertaken to meet current envionmental regulations and improve the quality of bathing waters around one of Northern Ireland’s premier tourist resorts.

This award follows on from the success in 2007 of Model Primary School, Newtownards in the Construction Restoration Category.
