Project Title:
Upgrading of Water Treatment Plant at Kylemore Abbey and Gardens
Location:
Co. Galway
Client:
Kylemore Abbey & Gardens Ltd.
Date:
December 2020
Business Sectors:
Water Resources
Services (Technical Disciplines):
- Risk Assessment
- Procurement of water treatment facility
Our Role:
TOBIN prepared a Risk Assessment Report in January 2021, focusing on risks that had the potential to affect business continuity at the estate. Risks were ranked and the water treatment process was highlighted as one area that required upgrading to meet current best practice.
TOBIN subsequently assisted Kylemore Abbey and Gardens in the procurement of an upgraded water treatment facility, which was based on pressure filtration, UV disinfection and chlorination, together with appropriate control, monitoring and automation. Glan Agua Ltd. were appointed in April 2021 to install the new water treatment system, and a fast-track approach was required due to the estate opening up, post-COVID, in late spring 2021. The new water treatment system was commissioned only 15 weeks after the commencement of construction and delivered treated water to the estate in August 2021.
Project Objectives/ Outcomes:
TOBIN Consulting Engineers were appointed by Kylemore Abbey and Gardens Ltd. in December 2020 to undertake an initial assessment of the existing water supply to the estate, and to prepare a Risk Assessment Report that identifies and ranks all potential risks to business continuity at the estate that may arise from the operation of the water supply.
