North Fringe Water Supply Scheme

This landmark project designed as part of Dublin City Council's implementation of water supply improvements to the north of the city involves the provision of a ground level reservoir, pumping station and a high level water tower of distinct design.

The new water tower is 39 m high and hold 5 million litres of water. A 30 million litre ground reservoir has also been constructed with highlift pumping station to transfer water to the tower. The contract cost exceeds €10M. The visual impact of the tower was particularly important due to the proximity of the site to the M50 motorway and Dublin airport.

McCarthy Hyder were responsible for the full design, EIS, project management and construction supervision on the project.
