The Water of Leith Conservation Trust, dedicated to preserving the river, its heritage, and wildlife (www.waterofleith.org.uk), played a pivotal role in this significant installation. Funding for this segment was provided by Sustrans, a charity promoting active transportation (www.sustrans.org.uk), and executed by Edinburgh & Lothians Greenspace Trust on behalf of The City of Edinburgh Council (www.elgt.org.uk/).
Kevin Bagnall, Chairman/CEO of API, expressed his pride in the success of Flexi?-Pave a technology he developed over two decades ago. He remarked, "I take great pride in this technology that I developed over 20 years back. Especially when installations of Flexi?-Pave such as this receive words of praise and gratitude not just from clients like these, but also from the end users. Namely, the cyclists, walkers, and wheelers who have found our surfaces to be beneficial to them personally."
The positive reception from the community underscores the commitment of Atlantic Power and Infrastructure Corp to providing innovative solutions that contribute to the well-being and satisfaction of both clients and end-users.
