Grand Canal Wastewater Rehabilitation Project
Wastewater Project
Uisce Éireann has completed essential repair works on the Grand Canal Sewer which collapsed due to poor structural condition.
This project has repaired approximately 75 metres of sewer which partially collapsed due to poor structural condition in July 2019. This section of sewer crosses under the Grand Canal, the Luas line and Suir Road. The sewer is a key part of the wastewater infrastructure for Dublin. GMC Utilities Group delivered this project on behalf of Uisce Éireann.
