It is intended that this will be available before the end of this year.Ĭouncillor Gordon Edgar, Scottish Borders Council’s Executive Member for Infrastructure, Travel and Transport, said: “The unveiling of the new stone-clad sections of flood wall is a key milestone for the Hawick Flood Protection Scheme.

The Flood Scheme team is currently preparing a new interactive map which will be accessible via the Scheme’s website to provide additional information on the designs and finishes at each location. These have been designed in partnership with the people of Hawick so that the glass panels are placed at key locations. In addition to the wall finishes, approximately 60 glass panels will be installed throughout the town to maintain views to the River Teviot. Townsfolk will start to see the buff sandstone cladding going up at the Common Haugh over the next few weeks. There is also a patterned concrete wall finish located through more industrial areas. The design of the Scheme’s new flood defences, which are predominantly flood walls, was undertaken in partnership with statutory partners, key consultees, and the people of Hawick over many years.Ĭareful consideration of the heritage of the town has been pivotal in achieving the final look of the walls, with the buff and grey sandstone cladding designed to fit in with the surrounding environment. The Hawick Flood Protection Scheme has unveiled two different types of stone-clad flood walls for the town.
