The detail

This complex structure, encompassing 37,000 lorry loads of dry stone, and 25,000m3 of concrete, incorporated the design and construction of 18km of dual two/three lane motorway with associated slip roads and infrastructure. Inclusive of seven junctions, 63 structures, 8km of online upgrade and 10km of offline upgrade through rural and urban areas, the project featured the exceptional response of 95% of all queries/complaints within 48 hours. Fundamental to the success of this PFI sheme, which demanded over 300 phases of work completion within a live environment, was our close collaboration with the client - strengthened through the appointment of two Customer Liaison Officers. Additionally, a dedicated Environmental Manager, and Ecologist, ensured that no notices or prosecutions were issued despite work encountering three SSSIs and numerous protected sites. Notably, it facilitated the largest ever road crash simulation in Scotland (Operation Roller) and has reduced Road Traffic Collisions by 25%.
