Overview
The Castlemartyr Waste Water Treatment Plant project focuses on delivering an upgraded, compliant wastewater treatment facility through an Early Contractor Involvement approach, addressing site constraints, constructability, and environmental risks while enabling phased implementation to meet regulatory requirements and improve operational resilience.
This webinar offers an inside look at the Castlemartyr Waste Water Treatment Plant project, highlighting how Early Contractor Involvement influenced design development, addressed delivery challenges, and contributed to the effective implementation of a modern wastewater treatment solution.
