Corrour Pole Barn Groundworks

2/6/2022

0 Comments

 
An insight into some of the work we have been completing on Corrour Estate, where we were contracted to complete all groundworks to facilitate the construction of a new pole barn.

Our works involved the bulk excavation of 3000 tonne of material, before we imported suitable fill to prepare the ground for foundations. Reinforced concrete bases to hold the columns for the structure were then poured, with the remaining areas filled and compacted with hardcore.

The pictures show the different stages of the construction, a great effort from all of the guys working up there.

0 Comments

 
Some great progress being made on one of our current projects, Alt Na Moine Hydroscheme. The first images show the near completed power house where stonemasons are currently working to finish off the remainder of the stonework. Following this, you can see the dam diversion, where the intake screens have now been fitted, the dam spillway and intake chamber. The last images show progression of the left bank wing wall, where the main focus now is shuttering and steel work, followed by the right embankment. The main pipeline is also now connected and the project is nearing it's final stages.

Credit to Hydroplan for the images.

Cairndow Ozone Treatment

5/4/2022

0 Comments

 
Recently completed project to create Primary filtering, Ozone Treatment, and additional water storage for the existing salmon hatchery. Adopting this new process allows the hatchery to re-cycle existing water, reducing river extraction and treat any unwanted bacteria allowing the growth of healthier fish.

Our task was to construct all concrete structures, steel building to house the mechanical equipment and install all underground large diameter pipework. The project was delivered on time and on budget despite some challenging ground conditions and has now been handed over to the Process engineers for fit out.
