Blindwells picked up the Geotechnical Award at the Scottish Civil Engineering Awards. The project scooped this award for its use of various ground improvement techniques required to render the former open cast colliery site suitable for redevelopment, including sustainable and low carbon methods.
The mixed use scheme will deliver 1600 new homes just north of Tranent in East Lothian. The neighbourhood will also include a new school campus along with playing fields, commercial units and business premises, a ‘Park & Ride’ and a new garden network of paths and outdoor recreation areas for the local community to enjoy.
In addition to geotechnical design, our team is providing geoenvironmental, civils and flood consultancy services on this mixed use scheme which has been ongoing since 2017. To learn more about our role in delivering this exceptional development, click here.
