Portarlington Flood Relief Scheme

Portarlington is a town on the border of County Laois and County Offaly. Having suffered many previous flooding events, notably in August 2008, winter 2015/16 and November 2017, calls for a sensitive flood relief scheme to be constructed and protect Portarlington from future flood events. In August 2020, Laois County Council appointed Binnies and Nicholas O’Dwyer (NOD) to develop a flood relief scheme, which is socially, environmentally, economically, and technically acceptable, to protect Portarlington.
