Through our commercial subsidiary Scottish Water Horizons we are upgrading the sewer network to accommodate the development of a new University Hospital Monklands.
At a Glance
- Increase sewer capacity to allow new hospital to be built
- Work to be carried out at seven strategic locations

- Site investigations to begin October 2025
State-of-the-art
The work will support a new University Hospital Monklands that is being built on land in Wester Moffat in Airdrie (Pic NHS Lanarkshire)
What We Are Doing
We will be carrying out a strategic upgrade of the sewer network in and around Airdrie, Coatbridge, Bargeddie and Uddingston.
Site investigations are being carried out at seven locations, all in wooded areas away from the public road so no traffic management is required.

Why We Are Doing It
NHS Lanarkshire is to build a new state-of-the-art replacement for University Hospital Monklands on a site at Wester Moffat in Airdrie.
To support the new hospital, the surrounding sewer network requires upgrading.

Element 4 – We are upgrading a pipe running through woodland behind residential properties in Ross Drive, Airdrie

Element 7 - This work will take place in Calderbraes Golf Club in Uddingston, between two holes on the course.
Update September 2025
As the work is mainly taking place in woodland, we have carried out a range of required environmental surveys and inspections.
These included tree aerial inspections for bats and their roosts and arboricultural surveys to assess any potential risks and determine tree management strategies.
