Ab-kettelby Project

Project Overview

G&V Gallagher successfully delivered a large-scale trunk main installation covering 2.8 kilometres of 500mm MDPE pipework across a combination of private land and public carriageway. The project was part of a wider programme to upgrade local water infrastructure and improve network capacity and resilience.

Scope of Works

• Installation of 2.8km of 500mm MDPE trunk main

• Combination of open-cut trenching and directional drilling methods

• Crossings through private farmland and highway sections requiring multiple stakeholder approvals

• Connection and testing to ensure compliance with client specifications and water quality standards

• Traffic management and environmental controls implemented throughout

Challenges & Solutions

Working across varied terrain and sensitive land required meticulous planning and coordination with landowners, local authorities, and utility partners.
By combining open-cut excavation for accessible sections with directional drilling under roads and sensitive areas, G&V Gallagher ensured minimal disruption and maintained programme efficiency.

All works were completed safely, within the 8-week timeframe, and to the highest standards of quality and environmental compliance.

Outcome

The successful completion of the trunk main has enhanced the resilience and capacity of the regional water supply network, ensuring reliable service for existing and future developments.

This project showcases G&V Gallagher’s ability to deliver complex water infrastructure projects through innovative methodology, precise execution, and collaborative project management.
