Levengrove Park is a public park on a stretch of land where the River Leven meets the estuary of the River Clyde. West Dumbartonshire Council’s Greenspace section successfully won a Heritage Lottery Fund bid to restore the heritage of Levengrove Park under the ‘Parks for People’ programme. As a result, they were able to carry out the following works to upgrade the park.
Heritage restoration:
Main entrance restoration included:
The regeneration of the park included the construction of a new pavilion building with café and rangers office, the upgrading of an existing Council depot facility, upgrading of the paths, landscaping, and restoration of stonework and gates.
In addition, an upgraded power and gas supply were needed. This was co-coordinated by Covanburn to tie in with the overall construction plan.
As part of the upgrade, a new power and gas supply were needed, which Covanburn coordinated to tie in with the overall construction plan. New sewer connections were also required, so we installed a new rising main sewer, which connected to the existing Scottish Water Sewer.
The park remained open throughout the duration of the works, therefore stringent controls were needed to protect the public whilst moving plant and materials around the park.
