Culvert 15A that runs under the Coventry Canal requires repair works, including repairing the upstream headwall, and re-lining the culvert with a 'cured-in-place' pipe liner. The works will also involve undertaking canal bed repairs over the top of the culvert requiring the dewatering of this section of the canal.
