Double Success for NI Water’s Considerate Constructors!

Two of NI Water’s major capital delivery projects have scooped two accolades in the prestigious CCS (Considerate Constructors Scheme) National Site Awards 2025.

The National Site Awards – which were first introduced by the CCS in 1998 - recognise the outstanding advancements made by dedicated constructors in transforming the construction industry's image and reputation. 

Murphy DAWSON WAM JV are the contractors for both successful projects and scooped two Bronze Awards at this year’s ceremony for their work on the Knockbracken CSO (storm sewer upgrade) and the Carmoney to Strabane Strategic Trunk Main projects, both delivered for NI Water. 

The CCS National Awards winners are exceptional sites, organisations and individuals who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to the Code of Considerate Practice in the areas of Community, Environment and Workforce.  It was also great for the project teams to celebrate the awards in Belfast as the ceremony was held there for the first time.  

Tzvetelina Bogoina, NI Water Director of Infrastructure Delivery said:

“I would like to extend my congratulations to the teams whose efforts have been justly recognised by the CCS in this year’s awards. 

 “We are proud to have this calibre of contractor working in partnership with NI Water to deliver our extensive portfolio of capital delivery water and wastewater projects across Northern Ireland.”

At Knockbracken, the £6.7 million scheme has delivered over 1400m3 of additional stormwater storage at the storm overflow which will significantly reduce the volume of spills and help enhance the water quality in the Carryduff River and downstream catchment at Belfast Lough.

The Carmoney to Strabane Strategic Trunk Main is an essential water supply system, including a new 28km pipeline between Carmoney Water Treatment Works in Eglinton and Castletown Service Reservoir in Strabane, that will ensure the resilience and ongoing provision of high-quality water to customers in the Northwest.
