Mew ￡30m green Scottish road

摘要

Construction of a new ￡30 million road to the north of Glasgow linking the town of Kirkintilloch to the motorway network has been achieved to high environmental standards. The project required the installation of three Downstream Defender Hydrodynamic Vortex Separators (HVSs) from Hydro International to remove silt and pollutants from surface water runoff near the town centre. An extensive environmental programme for the road included the creation of new wetland and the protection of waterside wildlife habitats, so a sustainable drainage solution for the road's 5.1 km length was paramount including the siting of five attenuation ponds at points along the route.
