At ESK, we believe the construction of water & wastewater infrastructure plays a vital role in our vision for a sustainable Ireland where the environment is respected and protected.

The scope of this project involved the construction of a freshwater storage lagoon. This project was executed with a leading emphasis on safeguarding the local environment and ecosystems. For this reason, the lagoon was constructed and developed using recycled soils. Adhering to a design philosophy that prioritises environmental protection, careful consideration was given to seamlessly integrating the lagoon into the existing valley, minimising disruption to the natural landscape. Upon completion, the lagoon proudly boasts a storage capacity of 16 million litres, a testament to our commitment to sustainable infrastructure development.
