A strategic upgrade to Auchterarder’s water network was undertaken to ensure a reliable supply for the new homes proposed in the town while ensuring supply to existing customers was not adversely affected.
The work was carried out for a consortium of Stewart Milne Homes (lead), Muir Homes and Robertson Homes. The scheme has two sections of new mains. The first is 1.2 km of 355 mm diameter main along Braco Road. The second is 2.6 km of 250 mm diameter main around the northern edge of the town to Hunter Street. Together they tie back into the existing Scottish Water network, with a new district meter and a pressure reduction valve bypass.
We were appointed to carry out the full design. This included route surveys, environmental studies and proactive landowner liaison, as well as concluding the legal agreements needed to develop a practical, buildable solution.
From design through to delivery, we provided full project management, construction monitoring, and financial services. We worked closely with Scottish Water and key stakeholders to support efficient delivery and the successful vesting of the completed mains with Scottish Water.
