Farrans

We are Farrans Construction, a leading civil engineering and building contractor with over 80 years’ experience of delivering world-class projects across the UK and Ireland. We are a sister company of Tarmac and part of CRH, the global building materials business.

As experts in the water sector, we are proud to be delivering two important projects for Northumbrian Water Limited which will provide a resilient supply of clean and clear water to its customers for decades to come.

In County Durham and Tees Valley, Farrans is improving the underground network of water pipes, constructing a new 24km, 800mm diameter pipeline between Lartington Water Treatment Works and Shildon via Whorley Hill. 

In a second project, Farrans is designing, supplying and installing a new Bores Treatment Stream at Barsham Water Treatment Works (WTW) in Suffolk, where the company operates as Essex & Suffolk Water, including an interstage pumping station, a contact tank for the existing river works flow, a storage reservoir (20 Ml working volume) and a high lift pumping station for the combined flows.
