PROJECT DESCRIPTION

As time progresses The Highland Council have started to defend the area at risk when it comes to flood damage and coastal erosion. Where Loch Eil meets Loch Linnhe in Scotland there is a small village called Caol, where RJ McLeod (Contractors) Ltd have been operating under the shadow of Ben Nevis to ensure the future of this village is safe from flood and water damage.
HATCRETE have contributed to this flood alleviation scheme by supplying coloured and decorative concrete products, helping RJ McLeod create something for the local community to be proud of. The pattern imprinted into the concrete wall by RJ McLeod is complemented by the HATCRETE Smokestone Colourmix used to integrally colour the concrete, produced by Leiths and helping merge the wall into its beautiful natural surroundings.
