Falkirk Wheel
Client: British Waterways
Value: £17 million
Location: Falkirk
The Falkirk Wheel is the world’s first revolving boatlift and is the flagship of the British Waterways Millennium Link project, which reopend the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal.
It is internationally recognised as a ‘grand engineering statement’ and replaces a flight of 11 locks allowing interchange between the two canals which are separated by approximately 2km horizontally and 34m vertically.
The contract also included the design and construction of a new 1.8km section of canal, a tunnel beneath the Antonine wall, a section of aqueduct, receiving basin and a visitor centre which provides facilities for tourists, function areas and office space for British Waterways.
The project won the Award for Civil Engineering and the Best Civil Engineering Project of the last 25 years (1981 – 2005) by the Saltire Society and the Brunel Medal by the Institute of Civil Engineers.
