The contract will involve the laying of 3730m of 125mm PE100 SDR 13.5 (or 100mm D.I.) water main on the Rath Lane and also the laying of 2300m of 315mm PE 100 SDR 13.5 (or 250mm D.I.) water main on Kileek Lane.
The proposed route of the new w/main is on the opposite side of the road to the existing w/main.
The water main is to be laid in sections up to 1000m long, tested, made live and then the domestic and non-domestic connections for the section are to be completed.
