Balfour Beatty has been awarded a £27m contract to deliver a flood protection scheme in Scotland on behalf of Perth and Kinross Council.

The scheme will see Balfour Beatty construct 2.8km of river walls and embankments in Comrie along the Ruchill River, River Earn and River Lednock.

The flood defences will protect nearly 200 local homes and business in Comrie, which is an area known for significant flooding.

Cllr Grant Laing, leader of Perth and Kinross Council, said: ‘I am delighted that we have an agreement in place with Balfour Beatty, and that work on this important project can begin.

‘The complex scheme has been designed to the highest possible standard to protect Comrie from significant flood events, and it should bring peace of mind to homeowners and businesses who have sadly experienced the trauma of repeated flooding in the town over the years.’
