St. Sebastian Canal Bank after completion of the work

Access Engineering PLC, the leading engineering enterprise in Sri Lanka successfully completed the canal bank revetment works in St. Sebastian South Canal, under the Metro Colombo Urban Development Project.

The project which was spearheaded by Sri Lanka Land Reclamation and Development Corporation under the guidance of Ministry of 11-04 Megapolis and Western Region Development, intended flood control in the vicinity of St. Sebastian South Canal by dredging the canal and protecting its banks using gabion walls and steel sheet pile walls which prevent erosion of the banks.

St. Sebastian South Canal is one of the key storm water drainage canals in the Northern Colombo area that discharges the storm water in the Colombo basin in to the Kelani River with an approximate length of 2.0 km and a width of 15m. Some stretches of the Canal Bank had been protected earlier either by gabion walls and sheet pile walls, but the rest of the earthen bank has not been protected resulting the canal sections with undefined cross sections difficult to maintain.

The scope of the project completed includes canal bank protection work of around 6000 m3 of gabion construction works, 90 m long sheet pilling work and reinstatement of existing access road and storm water drains disturbed by construction work.

The surrounding residents are immensely benefited by the project being completed with improved scenic beauty and the increased land value in the area.
