Quinn Automatic has begun work on a sewer improvement scheme within Derry City Walls.

The firm has partnered with NI Water to carry out the work on Bishop Street which is expected to be completed in three weeks.

Extensive investigation works, which were carried out during November 2016, identified that the sewer in Bishop Street Within is in very poor condition. Therefore, it is necessary to relay the section of sewer as soon as possible. All of the works are being programmed to be completed prior to the commencement of Public Realm work within the Walls later this year.

The section of work was initially planned to be undertaken during daytime hours, however due to restrictions caused by the number of existing services, the sewer now needs to be replaced along the original line and will necessitate night time work.

Diversions will be put in place.
