GMC Utilities has been appointed by Uisce Éireann to deliver a major €15 million water infrastructure project in County Meath, involving the installation and replacement of approximately 8.5 kilometres of water mains in Julianstown and Stamullen.
Construction is getting underway this week on the scheme, which will significantly improve water supply capacity across the area while providing essential infrastructure to support the development of up to 2,000 new homes.
The project involves installing approximately 6km of new water mains between Pilltown Road and Balloy Reservoir, together with the replacement of a further 2.5km of existing mains along the R132 and L5621 through Julianstown.
GMC Utilities will undertake the works in phases, with the initial construction activity commencing on the northern side of Julianstown near Pilltown Road.
Traffic management measures will be introduced along the R132 to facilitate the works, with efforts being made to minimise disruption to local residents, businesses and motorists.
The main construction programme is expected to take approximately 12 months, with final road resurfacing scheduled for early 2028.
The investment forms part of Uisce Éireann’s ongoing programme to upgrade Ireland’s water infrastructure, improve network resilience and provide the capacity required to accommodate future residential and commercial development.
With substantial housing and infrastructure investment planned across the Greater Dublin region, projects such as this underline the continuing demand for specialist utility contractors and civil engineering services.
The scheme represents another significant infrastructure project for GMC Utilities, one of Ireland’s established utility engineering contractors.
