1-1053 Drainage Technical Support 2020-2021

The SES drainage team requires technical support to progress actions set out in the drainage improvement programme as well as to assist with peaks in the teams work load. Following on from RIS2 funding allocation, a study was carried out that looked at how to improve the management of the drainage asset. The output of this study was the Drainage Improvement Plan (2019). This commission will start to progress some of the recommendations set out in the plan.

The output of this study was the Drainage Improvement Plan (2019). This commission will start to progress some of the recommendations set out in the plan. Recommendations set out in the drainage improvement programme: developing a drainage policy; identifying how to make better use of existing data to inform future maintenance and improvement plans; support HE initiatives to collect intervention and spending data; improve understanding of how drainage failure impacts wider services (cross asset benefits) to support investment in drainage; and investigate improvement in data transfer between data systems.
