Upgrade of Upton SPS was completed to reduce flooding in the Upton area, it involved the installation of a 6m diameter by 7m deep Pumping Station, despite works initially being designed for a top down shaft installation, SFMCE proposed the installation of a cofferdam and building the Pumping Station from the bottom up. Ground Conditions proved difficult but local dewatering sumps were installed for groundwater until the Pumping Station was built. Works also included the installation of Valve Chambers, ducting, access roads, fencing, kerbing and Reinforced Concrete MCC Bases.

Install underground pipes and pumping equipment

“Firstly I would like give a special word of thanks to Sean and Mick Flangan and there gang of hard workers, Sean worked many days and nights to achieve the key milestones crossing under many services…….known and unknown, they went over and above what would be expected to work hours wise to meet the criteria set out by Transport NI for working outside of “peak flows” of traffic. This involved a lot of coordination with Geda, Sean, HMM (Traffic management) and John McQuillan (surfacing squad) to achieve the key milestones – so thanks to them also. The slip road into Holyood has also been completed within the dates given to Transport NI.”

- PAUL MCELROY, CONTRACTS MANAGER, GEDA

Paul,

Yes, huge thanks to you and the whole team for delivering this piece of work on time, with no overruns into peak traffic hours and with virtually no complaints.

The efforts everyone involved, including McAdam’s supervision team, went to deliver this crossing so seamlessly on one of NI’s busiest and most traffic sensitive roads really is very much appreciated.

Thanks again and please pass on our thanks to everyone who worked so hard to achieve this!
