Monaghan Sewer Surveys

Progressing with surveys of 2km of sewer and over 180 manholes in Monaghan.

Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Monaghan County Council and Arup, is currently undertaking surveys of the existing sewer network in Monaghan town. McBreen Environmental Services Limited is working on our behalf to complete these surveys.

The surveys are almost complete and are the first of its scale carried out in Monaghan. These will provide the basis to build a hydraulic model to assess the capacity, condition and performance level of the sewer network.

Benefits

• Allow Uisce Éireann to build a hydraulic model of the existing sewer network in Monaghan town
• Determine the condition, capacity and performance level of the sewer network
• Allow Uisce Éireann to prioritise sewers in need of upgrade on a national basis
• Part of a national programme of sewer surveys and models that are being undertaken across the country

Steps

• Installation of rainfall, flow, depth and conductivity monitors
• Access to private property may be required to complete the surveys
• Some minor road works and traffic management around manholes will be required for a limited time to facilitate the surveys
