Galgorm Wastewater Pumping Station

This project involved the construction of new wastewater pumping station with storm water storage tank in Galgorm and new stormwater storage tank in Cullybackey. The goal of the project was to increase capacity within the Foul and Stormwater networks in the Galgorm and Cullybackey catchments as part of wider NI Water upgrades in the Ballymena area. The increased stormwater storage will significantly increase the capacity of the stormwater network dramatically reducing the risk of overflows. The new WwPS in Galgorm was required to replace an aging pumping station and ensure reliable operation and enhanced efficiency of waste water management.

By utilising stakeholder engagement and management throughout the concept development and delivery phases, the team ensured exemplar working relationships were developed and maintained between multiple parties meaning that solutions were reached, and the project was able to be completed.

The project included the construction of a combined flow wastewater pumping station incorporating: wet well, valve chamber, emergency storage tank and all associated pipework and pumping equipment. The works also included the provision of a new MCC control panel within a new kiosk, the provision of a new standby generator, facility for mobile generator and the provision of wash water air break and booster set at Galgorm WwPS. In addition to the works at Galgorm WwPS an emergency storage tank and all associated pipework was to be provided at Cullybackey WwPS upstream of Galgorm WwPS.
