Vulnerability of the project to risks

There will be no change to the likelihood of flooding on the M80 within the scheme extents upon completion of the works.

Works are restricted to areas of made ground on the M80 carriageway surface, with access to the scheme gained via the M80 and M9 mainlines. As such, the proposed works’ impacts on road traffic accidents are assessed to be of negligible magnitude.

A Site Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) will be produced by BEAR Scotland which sets out a framework to reduce the risk of adverse impacts from construction activities on sensitive environmental receptors. The Contractor will comply with all conditions of the SEMP during works and may be subject to audit throughout the contract.

Considering the above, the vulnerability of the project to of major accidents and disasters is considered to be low.
