Balfour Beatty to open doors

26 October 2012

FULLY BOOKED - NO MORE PLACES AVAILABLE

Our canal construction contractor, Balfour Beatty, will be holding Open Doors Days on Friday 9th and Saturday 10th November.

Visitors will be able to see for themselves progress on our exciting  project to create a new canal extension from the existing Forth & Clyde canal down to a new sea lock on the River Carron.

Balfour Beatty are also delivering a new under-bridge to the M9, feeding the canal below the major trunk road, and a new lock at the Kelpies - two 30m high horses' heads - featuring a new boat turning pool.

You'll also hear about other aspects of the Helix project, which is transforming 350 hectares of land between Falkirk and Grangemouth into a parkland and visitor attraction set  to open from the summer of 2013.

If you're interested in booking a visit to our canal site on one of the above dates, book here.
