KSB SUPPLY PUMPS TO THE RENFREW FLOOD PREVENTION SCHEME ON THE RIVER CLYDE

摘要

The flood prevention scheme will protect homes and businesses in North Renfrew and comprises a 3m high embankment and a new underground pumping station at the Mill Burn at Fingal Road. The embankment, which runs westward for 1km from Ferry Road, provides a barrier against direct flooding from the Clyde. The pumping station containing KSB pumps will ensure that tidal surges on the Clyde do not cause the Mill Burn to overflow and flood local properties. The pumping station provides a capacity of 5.5m~3/s to provide standard protection against tidal flooding from the River Clyde and fluvial flooding from Mill Burn. The pumping station's maximum flow rate has been specified to cover a 1 in 200 year flood event.
