A strong client/contractor relationship led to the project being GBP10M under budget and supplying Scottish Water customers two months ahead of schedule.
In order to allay concerns about the project impact upon the surrounding environment, the new works at Milngavie are partially below ground and screened by trees and extensive landscaping.
To further reduce the works footprint and therefore visual impact, Black and Veatch used lamella clarifiers rather than cone sludge settlement tanks and relocated the filter gallery pipework.
