BSG will commence the first phase of pipelaying work on behalf of NI Water for the Lenamore and Skeoge Wastewater Project at Madam's Bank Road in County L'Derry on Monday, June 23.

The project is being delivered to facilitate new housing planned for the area this summer. Pipelaying will get underway at Culmore Roundabout and progress along Madam's Bank Road towards the junction of Earhart Park. A lane closure with traffic lights will be in place to manage traffic flow with access to residential areas maintained. 

Speaking about the pipelaying work and the overall project, David McClean, NI Water Senior Project Manager said: "Construction of the new Lenamore Wastewater Pumping Station (WwPS) is due to start this August. A number of new pipelines are planned as part of the project to link the new WwPS with the existing network at Culmore. In a bid to minimise traffic disruption, our contractor BSG will undertake work on Madam’s Bank Road from the end of June until the end of August.

“Any work that isn’t completed on Madam's Bank Road by the end of August this year will be undertaken during the summer of 2026.

“Most of the other pipelines will be laid off road with some road crossings planned to be undertaken using trenchless (underground) techniques. NI Water will keep the public informed of any associated traffic management as we work to deliver the Lenamore & Skeoge Wastewater Project that will support the development of new homes in the northwest of the city."

A drop-in information event is being held between 4pm and 7pm at Templemore Sports Complex on Wednesday, June 18, June to exhibit plans for the new Lenamore pumping station and pipelines to be constructed as part of the Lenamore and Skeoge Wastewater Project.

Planning approval for the Lenamore Wastewater Pumping Station (WwPS) was granted last year, whilst the Skeoge-based wastewater pumping station is currently going through the planning process and will get underway once funding and lands have been secured.
