Limerick GWS DBO Project

T J O’Connor & Associates were engaged by Limerick County Council to act as Client’s Representative in connection with the construction of new Water Treatment Plants for 19 group water schemes throughout the county.

The new Water Treatment Plants were procured under a single DBO contract. The quality of the raw water requires full treatment for iron and manganese on four of the plants, with the remaining plants just requiring chlorination.
