Moray DAS (Rothes & Forres) – Progress Report

For the period ending 16th November 2007 Ref: 415/14248

Summary

This progress report gives an overview of the tasks currently being carried out by MWH and OnSite/IETG/Future (survey contractors) in Rothes & Forres. This should be read in conjunction with the attached Rothes & Forres Programme.

Monthly Overview

Stage 1 - Scoping

• MWH consider the need for a Scoping Report has been superseded and request its removal, as the work has already been carried out and will be reported in the Model Build and Verification report.

Stage 2 - Model Build & Verification

• Model Build 1 – has now been completed. • Flow survey has been completed for both areas and all interim data has been received and reviewed. • CCTV and Manhole survey have been completed for both areas and data input to the model build. • CSO survey for Rothes and Forres are complete. • Final model build is almost complete, except for the outstanding piece of information which we are awaiting to receive from IETG. MWH have contacted the contractor and have requested this information at the earliest available opportunity.

Stage 3 – FPS Analysis

• At a meeting between MWH, SW & MFAS on Friday 25th May, MFAS intimated that digitised conceptual FAS for Forres & Rothes would not be available until autumn 2007. This data is critical to the delivery of the FAS assessment and impacts considerably on the overall programme delivery. Information has been received in word format from SW relating to the Rothes scheme. MWH have also received a CD containing details of the Flood Prevention Schemes for Rothes and Forres from Moray Council, this information was provided in pdf format. The report will be issued early December.
