What will it look like?
Find out here the latest information about the appearance of the new works at Glencorse.
The Architects Vision Statement details the brief Scottish Water have given the project architects to ensure they design a solution which is sensitive to the local people and surrounding environment.
Computer Generated "Fly-through"
The Glencorse design team have produced a digital model of the new treatment works. From this model a computer generated "fly-through" has been created showing the works and surrounding countryside.
The journey starts at the Castle Law Hillfort travelling south, soon the A702 road comes into view then the virtual camera swoops down and around the new works.
The living grass roofs and landscape design have been added so you may have to view more than once to pick out the various buildings. The Pentland Hills and surrounding farm land can also be seen in the back ground.
