EPS Sorensen has completed construction work to improve and upgrade the Carrigtwohill Wastewater Treatment Plant in Cork.

The €12.3 million project is now treating waste from Carrigtwohill as well as from other wastewater treatment works including Castlemartyr, Cloyne and Killeagh.

Katherine Walshe, Regional Operations Manager at Irish Water said: "Carrigtwohill is an example of Irish Water's ongoing programme of investment in modern, high technology wastewater facilities that support the environment, industry, and local and economic development. Carrigtwohill is a major pharmaceutical and biotechnology hub and this project will enable new schools and housing developments as well as attracting and supporting future industry in locating in the area. Irish Water's investment significantly increases the current treatment capacity of the plant to cater for a Population Equivalent (PE) of 30,000 as well as facilitating future expansion to cater for 45,000 and 60,000 PE into the future. We are delighted to be delivering ongoing investment in critical infrastructure projects that deliver tangible benefits to communities right across Cork."
