Contractor GMC Utilities Group has completed upgrade and improvement work on a sewer network in Dundalk.

The company, working on behalf of Uisce Éireann, delivered the wastewater scheme at St. Helena's.

The project involved the construction of almost 1.2kms of new sewerage pipes and is part of a project to improve the capacity of the existing sewers in the area.

The works involved the installation of a new rising main, starting at St. Helena's Terrace pumping station to the junction of Coes Road and Point Road. The rising main at Quay St pumping station was also replaced.

Padraig Hanly, Programme Manager, said: "Working with our colleagues in Louth County Council, we are delighted to announce the completion of this vital project for Dundalk. A sewer network that is fit for purpose is essential to support business and social development in the area. These works will support existing and future residential and commercial development while also improving the overall performance of the sewer network and will help the local environment by reducing the risk of sewer flooding.

"On behalf of Uisce Éireann, I would like to thank the people of Dundalk for their support and co-operation during the delivery of these works."
