Highest standards

Uisce Éireann was formed as a public utility in 2013 as a subsidiary of the Ervia Group and provides public water services to more than 80 percent of the population of Ireland.

Since 2017, we have been advising and managing the infrastructure programme, contributing to the delivery of the €5.5bn capital investment programme.

In accordance with Uisce Éireann’s mission to supply safe and reliable water and wastewater services, we’re actively supporting its key deliverables.

These include establishing the highest health and safety standards, delivering capital efficiency savings of €500m, evolving Uisce Éireann into a high performing utility putting the company on a solid commercial footing, and supporting economic growth in line with economic and spatial planning policy.

Project story

Community benefits

Embedded within the leakage reduction programme, our project management team actively contributes to Uisce Éireann’s campaign to save water. The programme has saved 166 million litres of drinking water a day up to the end of 2021.

A number of projects which will yield significant benefits to local communities are also on site, targeting water quality improvements and the alleviation of boil water notices in the network. These projects will also secure the steady supply of safe drinking water for customers in water-stressed areas, facilitating population growth and new industry.

Improving predictability

Our team provides programme and project management, governance and control, estimating, safety, health and quality assurance, and contract services. We also have subsequently assisted in improving the predictability of Uisce Éireann’s capital and infrastructure programme performance against its business plan objectives.
