Serving a population equivalent of 2.4 million people, Ringsend WwTP treats 40% of all wastewater in Ireland.<br><br>Our work here has included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Phosphorous Fixation Facility&nbsp;\u2013 the first of its kind in Ireland and the largest in Europe. This award\u2011winning installation captures phosphorus from wastewater and converts it into a valuable fertiliser product used in agriculture. Murphy continues to operate and maintain this facility on behalf of Uisce \u00c9ireann.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sludge Line Enhancement (SLE) Project&nbsp;\u2013 delivered in 2023, increasing the capacity and efficiency of the plant\u2019s advanced anaerobic digestion system and enhancing biosolids management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hybrid 2 Works&nbsp;\u2013 the latest major milestone in Uisce \u00c9ireann\u2019s upgrade strategy. Delivered ahead of programme in December, this project involved a full mechanical, electrical and civil retrofit of the Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) basins, each of which plays a crucial role in the biological treatment process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Across each of these projects, Murphy has been honoured to support Uisce \u00c9ireann in their important work to strengthen the functionality, reliability and environmental performance of Ireland\u2019s most important wastewater treatment asset. This work reflects our wider mission to improve life by delivering world\u2011class infrastructure that safeguards communities and supports a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"4186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-3-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"A view from above of a Waste Water Treatment plant with a dock and the ocean one one side and grass on the other. \" class=\"wp-image-4186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-3-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-3-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-3.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"4184\" src=\"https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Three people wearing safety uniform at the Ringsend Waste Water Treatment Plant.\" class=\"wp-image-4184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-4-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-4.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"4187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-5-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"An aerial view of the Ringsend Waste Water Treatment Plant.\" class=\"wp-image-4187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-5-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-5-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.murphygroup.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ringsend-Upgrade-2026-5.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An ambitious programme to upgrade and future\u2011proof critical infrastructure Members of our Water and Process Engineering team- Operations Director Anthony Brennan and Projects Director Patrick Maguire attended the official launch of Uisce \u00c9ireann Irish Water&#8216;s upgraded Ringsend Wastewater Treatment Plant (WwTP) alongside Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage of Ireland, James Browne TD, this [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4183,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[41,156,157,155,53],"class_list":["post-4182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-ireland","tag-irish-water","tag-ringsend","tag-uisce-eireann","tag-water"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
