Work is to begin on the next phase of a £110 million regeneration project in Glasgow.

Engineering consultancy Sweco will begin working on the second stage of the Sighthill scheme in the near future.

The firm is working alongside Glasgow City Council and Gardiner+Theobald on the construction of infrastructure at the site.

It will provide design integration support for new roads, transport and sustainable drainage, the design of utilities, development of a new foul drainage and serviceable development platforms.

Phase one of the regeneration involved enabling and environmental remediation works, which replaced the poor quality housing and facilities that previously dominated the area. Hundreds of new homes will come in the following phases, as well as a new education community campus, including Additional Support for Learning, sports facilities, a new church and an alternative use site.

The regeneration forms a significant part of the work Glasgow City Council, the Glasgow Housing Association and the Scottish Government have been doing to regenerate eight key areas of the city. Overall, the project is scheduled for completion by early 2020.

Iain Hall, operations director at Sweco said: “We are extremely pleased to be able to provide our expertise on such a significant regeneration project for Glasgow, particularly one that will provide improved infrastructure and housing and first class facilities for the city’s residents."
