Site investigations- Broughty Ferry flood scheme

Work is due to start on Monday, 29 August, on exploratory site investigations for the Broughty Ferry flood protection scheme. It will include trial pits and boreholes to determine existing ground and environment conditions and the construction makeup of the road and sea wall. The results arsing from the investigations will inform the structural design of the final flood prevention scheme.

The works will be undertaken between the hours of 8am and 5pm at localised areas between Douglas Terrace and Beach Crescent. It is anticipated the work will last for two weeks. There will be short sections of traffic management during this time.
 
Letters have been issued to all the frontagers and I have been advised that the contractor will contact those immediately adjacent to the works to explain the investigation work being carried out.
