David Walsh Civil Engineering Ltd has completed construction works on behalf of Uisce Éireann as part of a major upgrade of the Stamullen Wastewater Scheme in County Meath.

This significant project, which will bring long term environmental benefits for the communities of Stamullen and Gormanston and provide capacity to enable social and economic growth, involved converting the existing Stamullen Wastewater Treatment Plant into a modern pumping station.

Uisce Éireann's Conor Delaney welcomed the completion of the works: "This project not only provides the infrastructure needed to support future housing and population growth, but also delivers real environmental benefits by removing the discharge of treated wastewater to the River Delvin. We are delighted to have delivered this upgrade for the community, helping to protect local water quality while ensuring Stamullen has the water services it needs to thrive."

The modern station will now transfer all local wastewater to the Balbriggan Wastewater Treatment Plant for full treatment, meaning the old Stamullen treatment plant will now be decommissioned.

Approximately six kilometres of twin rising mains were installed, connecting Stamullen to the Balbriggan sewer network at Cardy Rock. The new network has also been designed to accommodate future wastewater flows from the nearby village of Gormanston.
