Project Details

The Vyrnwy Aqueduct Modernisation Programme is refurbishing the existing three pipelines which deliver high-quality drinking water to millions across Cheshire, Merseyside, and the North West.

Demonstrating that quality, sustainability and efficiency can go hand in hand, this project highlights the groundbreaking collaboration between Ecofill and Avove, pioneering a new approach in the construction industry.

This includes the successful reduction of carbon emissions, minimised local disruption, and the protection of the land’s agricultural integrity, all while achieving high-quality results, offering a pathway for future of sustainable construction.

The Siphon 1 Phase that spans from Malpas to Cotebrook, required the construction of 37 temporary haul roads across 14km of agricultural land using zero muck to landfill however importing aggregates. Ecofill was able to use the site-won material and transform it into aggregate replacement products. 

Avove selected Ecofill as their partner to drive low carbon solutions for enabling works, for this and future projects. The results have been transformative in terms of sustainability, land restoration, and social impact.
