Lagan begins £11.5m Leith flood prevention work

18 Apr 11 Lagan Õ¥Ö­¼§ has started work on an £11.5m contract for City of Edinburgh Council to build flood defences along a 2.5km stretch of the Water of Leith.

Five sections of defences will be constructed from Bonnington to Veitch’s Square, comprised mainly of structural flood walls – an overall length of 2,300m – with associated flood gates, demountable defences, glass panels and window shutters.

A lifting bridge and four pump stations will be built on tributary and surface water inflows to the river and strengthening works will be carried out at a nearby property.

The project is due for completion in August 2012.
