LONDON - Flowtech Fluidpower plc (AIM:FLO) has secured a €4.5 million contract for the Narrow Water Bridge project, a 195-metre cable-stayed and moveable span bascule bridge connecting Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, according to a company press release issued Tuesday.
The bridge, scheduled to begin construction in Q3 2025 with a 24-month completion timeline, will link Cornamucklagh near Omeath, Co. Louth with Narrow Water near Warrenpoint, Co. Down. Flowtech will support the Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Control, and Automation elements, as well as hydraulic systems for the project.
The company will collaborate with partners including Louth County Council, Roughan & O’Donovan, H&H, Demako BV, BAM UK & Ireland, and Aelterman BV. Funding comes from the Government’s Shared Island Fund.
In separate developments, Flowtech has become the first UK wholesale distributor for SMC Corporation (UK) Limited, a provider of fluid control and automation technologies. The partnership will enable SMC’s standard selection products to be available from Flowtech’s Global Fulfilment Centre in Skelmersdale.
Additionally, Flowtech’s trading business Thorite has been appointed as an officially authorized distributor of HPC Compressed Air Systems, renewing a 45-year association. This partnership will provide Thorite access to HPC’s range of KAESER KOMPRESSOREN products.
The Narrow Water Bridge contract follows Flowtech’s recent €4.5 million contract to upgrade Rice Bridge in Waterford City, Republic of Ireland, as noted in the company statement.
