The improvement work in Airdrie began in November 2020 to help reduce the risk of sewer flooding by increasing the capacity of the local combined sewer network.
The final phase – to install the remaining sections of pipes and manholes – is now underway and is expected to last approximately 11 weeks.
The scheme includes the installation of a 25 metre by 19 metres deep storm tank has been installed 19 metres below Craigneuk Park to provide extra storage capacity during heavy rainfall, new and refurbishing manholes, and the installation of new increased capacity sewer pipes.
The project has been designed to reduce the risk of internal and external flooding, but also to mitigate against flooding affecting local public transport, access to local schools and Airdrie football stadium.
Scottish Water's alliance partner, amey-binnies, is delivering the project which is expected to take around a total of eighteen months for completion.
