BSG Civil Engineering To Upgrade Water Infrastructure In Co Fermanagh

BSG Civil Engineering has been appointed to refurbish and upgrade the water infrastructure in Belleek, Co Fermanagh.

The work will involve laying approximately 5km of new water mains along part of the Lough Shore Road, Brollagh Road and Cornahaltie Road, up to Gortnalee Service Reservoir, as well as carrying out refurbishments at Drumlisaleen Water Pumping Station.

The first phase of pipelaying will get underway on the Cornahaltie Road on Monday 12 December. Due to the narrowness of the road and to facilitate the pipelaying the Cornahaltie Road will be closed to through traffic from Gortnalee Service Reservoir to Farrancassidy Crossroads for a period of 4-6 weeks.


The approved diversion route will be signposted and access will be maintained by the contractor for residents who live within the road closure area.

The road will be reopened to accommodate through traffic from 23 December until 08 January next year.

Martin Gillen, NI Water's Project Manager for the scheme, commented: "This is an important scheme for the Belleek area which is aimed at delivering an improved level of service for local customers. The new pipeline and pumping station upgrade will boost the integrity of the local water supply infrastructure and importantly will protect against bursts which have been a problem in the Belleek area in the past.

"NI Water, BSG and our technical consultants, McAdam Design, are aware that pipelaying work on roads can cause inconvenience for members of the local community and we will work to ensure that this contract is carried out with minimal disruption."
