BSG Civil Engineering in Maghera has completed work to improve the Camlogh Reservoir for NI Water.

The £3million project improved the facility and has provided an enhanced recreational and tourism resource.

The scheme also included strengthening the reservoir embankment to provide extra security in the event of heavy rainfall and the construction of a valve tower to control flows from the lake.

Ronan Larkin, NI Water's Director of Finance and Regulation said: "Alongside our partners in the council, we at NI Water are delighted to announce the completion of the Camlough Reservoir project, which will enhance and improve this great community amenity.

"The NI Water team have enjoyed working in partnership with Newry, Mourne and Down District Council, as well as the many stakeholders and user groups at the lake to complete this essential work, which is so important for the local community.

"As custodians of Silent Valley Reservoir, we also look forward to continuing our working partnerships with the council on Silent Valley events and contribution to the overall Newry Mourne and Down Visitor Experience."

BSG Civil Engineering was appointed the main contracto and AECOM provided project management and technical support.
