| Earth Tech to Improve Drinking Water Quality in Northern Ireland Earth Tech Engineering Ltd., as part of the Dalriada Water Limited consortium, signed a 25-year contract with the Northern Ireland's Department for Regional Development Water Service to undertake Northern Ireland's first public-private partnership drinking water project. The Dalriada Water consortium is comprised of Earth Tech, Kelda Group, and Farrans. Earth Tech, a business unit of Tyco International Ltd. and a global provider of consulting, engineering and construction services, will provide design and construction management services for the project. The £110 million (US $207.4 million) capital investment program will bring the treatment system, which provides almost half of Northern Ireland's drinking water, into compliance with European Union standards and improve its quality. Construction is expected to be completed in mid-September 2008. Once the treatment facilities are online, Dalriada Water will operate and maintain the improved facilities for 23 years. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
