RAVENHILL AVE FLOOD ALLEVIATION SCHEME
The Ravenhill Avenue Flood Alleviation Scheme has earned a nomination for the Transport & Utilities Infrastructure Project of the Year at the 2024 CEF Construction Excellence Awards .
With a budget under £ 10 million , the scheme addresses persistent flooding issues in one of Belfast ’ s most densely populated residential areas and is part of the broader Living with Water Programme , backed by NI Water .
Located in South Belfast , Ravenhill Avenue is home to residential developments built on historically industrial sites . Frequent flooding of homes during heavy rain due to outdated combined sewers required an urgent and innovative solution .
NI Water invested £ 7 million into upgrading the existing infrastructure , aiming to protect 11 properties from the DG5 Register of properties vulnerable to internal flooding ,
