This project involved deep drainage installations, some in excess of 10m in depth within a carriageway that was to remain live at all times due to it being the sole HGV access to the Edinburgh Airport Cargo Terminal. To accomplish this, a bespoke Traffic Management Plan was developed that outlined the sections of works to be undertaken, temporary works requirements, and proposed traffic management arrangements.
We employed a highways-sector-scheme approved traffic management contractor to design, install, and maintain all systems that evolved daily. Guided auger directional drilling techniques were utilised for the installation of a 400m length of 450mm diameter pipe, carrying the main surface water outfall for the development to its discharge point.
