Kellystown Foul Water Pumping Station Delivered Ahead of Schedule

The Solution

Drawing on our extensive experience in delivering approximately 20 similar projects annually, Campion Pumps deployed a proven and efficient strategy. Our familiarity with Uisce Éireann’s processes allowed us to submit a near complete solution from the outset, drastically reducing the typical feedback and revision cycles and accelerating the approval timeline.

For the construction phase, we utilised our advanced off-site precast modular concrete system. This approach was selected to ensure the highest quality standards, as manufacturing key components in a controlled factory environment eliminates the variables and potential defects associated with traditional on-site construction. This proactive approach was further informed by lessons from previous projects, allowing us to identify and resolve potential issues before they could impact the project schedule.

Sustainability & Efficiency

The project incorporated several key measures to minimise environmental impact and enhance long term operational efficiency:

• Low Carbon Materials: The precast concrete system utilised GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag), a waste product from steel manufacturing, significantly reducing the embodied carbon compared to traditional concrete.
• High Efficiency Operation: The station features high efficiency pumps with variable speed drives to optimise electricity consumption based on demand, reducing both carbon emissions and energy costs.
• Intelligent Controls: Advanced control systems were installed to minimise blockage risk through self cleaning functions, reducing the need for maintenance call outs and lowering operational carbon and costs.
