Under this design, build and operate (DBO) contract Murphy are delivering infrastructure to provide safe and secure water supplies to the towns of Birr, Tullamore and Clonaslee. The project includes:
Low flow in the rivers during the summer, river water quality issues during flash floods combined and declining yield from raw water boreholes influences present ongoing challenges. The design solution presented to our client by Murphy will meet these challenges and delivering safe and reliable water supplies to customers.
Murphy assumed responsibility for managing the existing water treatment assets at the commencement of the project. Operation of these facilities was reviewed and optimised as part of our delivery strategy so we could ensure water supply and quality to residents and businesses were not affected by our works.
The infrastructure delivered by Murphy will provide a safe and dependable water supply to 18,000 businesses and residents in County Offaly.
