Lagan Construction Group wins £3M Donegal contract with Irish Water

Lagan Construction Group lands £3.1M contract for water supply work in the Republic for the work in Greencastle, Co Donegal.

Lagan Construction Group has landed a €3.7M (£3.1M) contract for water supply work in the Republic. Lagan Construction Group won the deal for the work in Greencastle, Co Donegal, with Laganwater Limited responsible for mechanical and electrical installation of the project.

Working in partnership with Donegal County Council, Irish Water has appointed Lagan Construction Group to carry out the project — which is an investment in the Inishowen Regional Water Supply Scheme.

Neil McKenzie, director at Laganwater Limited, said: “Laganwater is delighted to have secured this significant infrastructure contract by Irish Water. Our dedicated team is fully committed to delivering this project successfully for our client, Irish Water.”

Works have been prioritised as part of Irish Water’s investment plan, to address important issues outlined in its business plan.

The £100M deal was one of the company’s largest contracts, and will deliver major improvements to the water mains infrastructure.

Another three firms have landed a £100M deal with NI Water. These include Maghera-based BSG Civil Engineering, Dunmurry-based Farrans Construction, and Belfast-based Lagan Construction Group and Meridian Utilities.

The contract is at the design and planning stage. Construction is scheduled to begin early next year. The project will assist in supporting a growing economy by boosting employment in the four firms, as well as local sub-contractors, NI Water said.

Sara Venning, NI Water’s Chief Executive said: “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 water mains per year,” she said.
