Rothes FAS
Client: The Moray Council
Value: £15 million
Location: Rothes
The third scheme to be delivered as part of the Moray Flood Alleviation contract, the concept is to increase the capacity of three burns flowing through Rothes, namely Back Burn, Black Burn and Burn of Rothes, to accommodate a 1 in 100 year flood plus an allowance for climate change.
The works comprise:
- channel widening/deepening;
- replacement of existing bridges to accommodate a wider channel;
- reinforced concrete flood walls and mini-piled foundations;
- earthworks embankments with a low permeability fill;
- bank protection works to prevent future scour
The works are programmed to suit various environmental constraints including salmon spawning, all three burns being tributaries of the River Spey a mile downstream. A number of other protected species (bats and badgers) are active in the area and licences are required. In addition, areas of invasive species are being cleared.
The works interface heavily with two distilleries, and involve closure and replacement of the HGV access bridges to these businesses during planned maintenance closures agreed with the Distillery owners.
