Investment
Work to set up a temporary site compound began in October
The initial phase of work will involve installing a temporary site access road and establishing the site compound. Site cabins will be positioned near the dead-end section of Langside Road, adjacent to the Bellshill Bypass.
Work will then commence on construction of the new storm storage tank, followed by the installation of a new pipeline in the fields adjacent to Laighlands Road. The project will then progress into Glebe Avenue, where a new pipeline and manhole will be installed, before concluding with the installation of a new rising main pipeline on Langside Road.
In order to provide safe access to the work area for our operatives, site vehicles and equipment, there will be a small number of trees and shrubs to trim or remove.
We appreciate that these works may cause inconvenience for the community. We thank them in advance for their patience and understanding while we complete this essential work.
Our alliance partner, Caledonia Water Alliance will be managing this work on our behalf and will do what they can to minimise disruption.
