As part of the Caledonia Water Alliance (CWA), a joint venture between AECOM and M Group Water, we’ve started work on the busy Corstorphine Road in the Murrayfield area of Edinburgh.
The £3 million investment from Scottish Water will help to protect an iconic Edinburgh watercourse from rags, wet wipes and other sewer related debris, as part of the IUW programme.
Before work began, a public information event was held in the Murrayfield Hotel to allow local residents and businesses to find out more about the project and ask questions to the project team.
The work on the A8 Corstorphine Road will see our team working to upgrade a storm overflow, protecting homes and businesses from flooding.
CWA Project Manager Chris McLaughlin said “The A8 Corstorphine Road has been reduced to one lane under two-way traffic lights between Ormidale Terrace and Murrayfield Gardens for approximately six months. This is to allow new screens and spill chambers to be installed to the existing outfall which is located under the road surface”
Scottish Water’s Improving Urban Waters programme is a £500million package of additional investment to improve water quality through increased monitoring and reporting, and targeted infrastructure projects to significantly reducing sewer-related debris and spills.
