£275,000 Whiteabbey flood alleviation scheme complete

Work has recently been completed on a flood alleviation scheme in Whiteabbey.

The project was developed to reduce the risk of flooding to 29 properties in Whiteabbey, through the replacement of an existing inadequate and structurally defective masonry culvert.

The scheme involved the construction of a new precast concrete box culvert in Glenville Way, and scour protection works downstream of the Shore Road.

These works were undertaken by Lowry Building and Civil Engineering.
