Scottish Water has temporarily paused work on a wastewater upgrade project in Montrose after a worker was seriously injured at the Borrowfield Park site.
Emergency services were called to a premises on Borrowfield Crescent around 9.25am on Wednesday, November 5.
A 49-year-old man was taken to hospital for treatment for serious injuries.
Police Scotland said the incident has been referred to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Scottish Water said it is cooperating with the investigation.
A spokesperson said: “We have been informed of an incident that occurred yesterday on a contractor’s site.
“Work on the site has been temporarily paused while an investigation is carried out. We are cooperating fully with the relevant authorities and contractors involved.”
Scottish Water began a multi-million-pound project at Borrowfield Park in August to upgrade the local wastewater network to prevent sewer flooding.
The project involves installing a new pipeline and constructing an underground storm overflow tank.
