Atkins provided project management, planning, preliminary design, contract supervision and administration to improve water quality in the River Lagan. The project will reduce flood risk in the area and rehabilitate and upgrade the Victorian sewer system in Belfast.

Atkins is the lead consultant of the largest contract ever to be awarded by Northern Ireland Water. The scale of the project is immense, including the construction of 9.5km of tunnels, 21 access shafts and a pumping station housed in Belfast's deepest and largest excavation. The new infrastructure will address both flooding and pollution issues resulting from severe storm events.
