Victoria Market Car Park
NI Water will commence a further round of investment to improve the infrastructure serving Derry City with a million-pound upgrade of Victoria Market Car Park Wastewater Pumping Station.
The work – which is due to get underway towards the end of July – will see the refurbishment of the 15-year-old pumping station which is located below part of the council-owned Victoria Market Car Park off Queen’s Quay in the city.
Speaking about the work, NI Water Project Manager, Matthew Lundy said: “Victoria Market Car Park Wastewater Pumping Station is an integral part of our wastewater network and helps to protect the area against out-of-sewer flooding. The work scheduled to be undertaken will include the refurbishment or replacement of the six large pumps and other equipment to ensure that the pumping station continues to operate effectively.
“Site set up will get underway in the car park week commencing Monday 22nd July - subject to a licence being granted from the Council - with work starting around the end of July.
“Each pump will be replaced or refurbished in turn to ensure that the pumping station remains operational. As a result of this essential sequencing, work will be ongoing until around the end of November 2024.
“Due to the scale of the equipment that needs to be removed and replaced a mobile crane will be required on site. For this reason, our contractor BSG will have to section off around 28 of the 81 spaces within the car park to facilitate the work.
“Signage will be erected in the car park and social media posts issued to notify the public.
“NI Water would take this opportunity to thank Derry City & Strabane District Council for their support in progressing this important work. In advance of work getting underway, and together with our project team from McAdam and BSG, we also thank the public for their patience and cooperation while work is ongoing. We will endeavour to complete this upgrade in the shortest possible timescale.”
