Four NI Construction Firms Scoop £100m NI Water Deal

Four construction firms in Northern Ireland have been awarded a new £100 million deal by NI Water.

Maghera-based company, BSG Civil Engineering, Dunmurry-based Farrans Construction and Belfast-based companies Lagan Construction Group and Meridian Utilities scooped the contract to improve the watermains infrastructure throughout Northern Ireland over the next four years.

The project will also assist in supporting a growing economy by boosting employment in the four companies, as well as local sub-contractors.


Sara Venning, NI water's Chief Executive, said: "This is one of NI Water's largest contracts, which will deliver major improvements to the watermains infrastructure throughout Northern Ireland. We are confident that the contract will provide excellent value for money for NI Water, while meeting our own ambitious targets of upgrading approximately 150km of watermains per year. The scheme will bring many benefits by improving water quality and security of the water supply, as well as the environmental benefits such as reducing leakage.

"We at NI Water look forward to working successfully with our four partners to deliver a sustainable, robust and reliable water supply network for the future and will continue to deliver an excellent service for our customers."
