Work on the Edzell flooding scheme has been delayed for more than a month.
Dundee Plant Company Ltd had been due to start work on increasing the capacity of the Dunlappie Road culvert on Monday.
However, a delay in the supply of pre-case units for the culvert has seen the start date postponed to April 20.
Angus Council’s head of technical and property services, Ian Cochrane, explained the nature of the works in a flood scheme update to councillors.
He said: “As part of the works, downstream measures will be implemented to direct flows to the Wishop Burn, south of the entrance to the golf club.
“These include property-level protection to the golf club to mitigate the possible impacts of increased flows through the Dunlappie Road culverts.
“Officers have been reviewing the content of property level protection benefit assessment reports the Scottish Government has commissioned from JBA Consulting to assess the flood risk management benefits of the flood protection.
“It is considered that these reports will inform directly the measures to be included in the flood-risk management strategies and local flood-risk management plans for Angus.
“Progress has been made on the western bypass solution to discharge to the West Water and eastern bypass solution to discharge to the North Esk, which includes correspondence with Dalhousie Estates.”
