This is in connection with generating increased capacity within the existing drainage network, and has also been designed to alleviate internal flooding from 16 properties in the Northgate/Ferness Road area.  Scottish Water are paying a contribution to the project to cover the costs of the flood alleviation.

The increased capacity is generated via upsizing existing sewer lines and the construction of 3No in-situ reinforced concrete tanks. Ground conditions create the largest challenge on the project, and vary from whinstone through to sands and clay and at the location of 1No storage tank the presence of peat and possible mine workings.  The works are being carried out for the Robroyston Technical Group with Scottish Water Solutions managing the project on their behalf.

All the works were carried out in line with Considerate Contractors Scheme and the impact of the works to residents was considered throughout the project.

Due to the location of  the works a lane closure was necessary for part of the construction period and suitable traffic management was put in place. Street work notifications were made to Scottish Water and Glasgow City Council.
