New wastewater system for Belfast
A new project to transform Belfast’s sewers has seen the completion of the deepest tunnel in the scheme.
Nearly a mile long and 40 metres below the ground, a tunnel boring machine made its way through to the terminal pumping station in the deepest open excavation in the city’s history.
