Scottish Water’s Shieldhall Tunnel in Glasgow, which is helping to improve water quality in the River Clyde and tackle sewer flooding, has won an urban drainage industry award, the second in as many months.
The tunnel, which was completed and formally opened this summer, has won a key award from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM), which represents thousands members and organisations worldwide who are dedicated to improving water and environmental management.
It was awarded the CIWEM Urban Drainage Group’s WaPUG Prize, which was named after its predecessor organisation the Wastewater Planning Users Group founded to support the UK urban drainage management community.
In October, the Shieldhall Tunnel also won the Infrastructure Award at this year’s Saltire Infrastructure Awards, which recognise excellence and innovation in civil engineering and celebrate its contribution to our quality of life.
The WaPUG Prize was presented to Dawn Lochhead, Scottish Water’s flooding manager, at the CIWEM annual conference which took place in Blackpool last week.
The tunnel was also shortlisted among finalists from around the world in the Institution of Civil Engineers’ People’s Choice Awards.
