  • Grand Canal Storm Water Outfall Extension Project Presented by Niall Armstrong
    Grand Canal Storm Water Outfall Extension Project Presented by Niall Armstrong- DCC Project Manager to the South East Area Committee on 12th October 2020 Introduction • Grand Canal Tunnel Constructed in the 1970s,Two sections – foul and storm. Foul section conveys flows to Ringsend Wastewater Treatment Plant. • The Storm Section of the Tunnel discharges to the Inner Basin of the Grand Canal Dock. • This project involves extending this Existing Outfall pipe to the River Liffey. • A joint project between Irish Water and DCC. Aerial View of Basin Project Details • At this stage, IW and DCC have agreed to jointly fund the project through the planning permission process. • Application to be made by Dublin City Council to An Bord Pleanala under Section 175 of the Planning and Development Act 2000. Programme: • Apply for planning permission Q4 2021. • Decision Q1 2022. Overview of Pipeline Phase 1 was Completed in 2002 – Construction of a Culvert along Asgard Road. Proposed Works – Connection of existing outfall to previously constructed culvert and construction of an outfall at the River Liffey at Sir John Rogerson’s Quay. Proposed Layout 450m of Pipeline within Basin and 100m along existing road and pedestrian infrastructure on Hanover Quay. Need for Project • Improve Water Quality in Basin Grand Canal Basin is regularly impacted by microbiological pollution, after heavy rainfall events. IW,DCC and Waterways Ireland established working group in 2017 to determine cause of ongoing pollution. It has been determined that the primary source of pollution is the discharge from the surface water section of the Grand Canal Tunnel. By removing Pipeline from the Basin this will greatly reduce pollution within it.
