Glencaple Growth Project
Project Overview
We will be carrying out essential infrastructure upgrades in Glencaple Village, located in Dumfries and Galloway. These improvements will enhance the capacity and resilience of our underground septic system, ensuring better protection against coastal flooding.
What we are doing
Our delivery partners, George Leslie, will be:
- Decommissioning the existing septic tank, which is currently undersized and vulnerable to flooding.
- Installing two larger underground septic tanks adjacent to the current location to increase capacity and reliability.
- Implementing additional works to futureproof the site, addressing both flooding concerns and long-term asset protection.
- Reprofiling the ground to raise the site level and reinforcing embankments to enhance stability and safeguard the new infrastructure.
These improvements will help ensure a more resilient wastewater system for the community, reducing flood risks and enhancing environmental protection.
