Major Refurbishment Completed on Critical Gate Infrastructure at Port of Leith
What happened
Dales Marine Services completed a major refurbishment of one of the three caisson gates at the Port of Leith. The gate, which controls water access into the harbour and is part of the lock system, was taken into a dry dock for the work. The refurbishment included replacing all timber, renewing wheel assemblies on two bogie systems, performing steel repairs, and restoring key valves.

Why it matters
The Port of Leith is one of Scotland’s busiest ports and supports commercial shipping and offshore activity. The gate refurbishment is part of Forth Ports’ programme to ensure the reliability of the infrastructure, which is crucial for the port's continued operation.
Balfour Beatty was awarded the main contract for port regeneration in the Leigh Port area.
