Civil Engineering Project:
A836 Strathy Melvich 2007


Work began on the new section of road between Melvich and Strathy in March of 2007.

The works consisted of 3.4km of new road alignment constructed offline from the existing single track road and the construction of two new structures.

Due to the balance of cut and fill operations for the construction of the new alignment, most of the material required for the construction were available on site involving some reprocessing procedures.

Existing rivers were diverted to allow the construction of both structures.

The foundations for the replacement Baligill bridge are shown opposite. The structure consisted of a multi plate pipe arch culvert supplied by Asset International based in Newport, Wales. On completion of the new structure the existing masonry stone bridge was demolished.

A Marie Curie Foundation Field of Hope for remembrance of cancer sufferers was constructed and sponsored by Highland Quality Construction.





 

On completion of the works the landscaping was carried out to the approval of Scottish National Heritage. It was critical to minimise the impact on the surrounding landscape with the construction of the new road scheme.

This is an area of our work that has been complimented on by many parties in the past.
