Redmoss to Clayhills Civils Reinstatement & Resurfacing

The brief

This complex project involved two phases of work across 12 locations between Redmoss and Clayhills in Aberdeen, focused on removing temporary works and reinstating previous excavation areas on an existing utilities renewal scheme.

Phase 1 scope of work included:

• Removal of temporary works installations..

• Backfilling of excavations to the required formation levels.

• Carriageway reinstatement including AC32, AC20 and HRA surface courses.

• Footpath and associated kerb reinstatement.

Phase 2 scope of work included:

• Excavation of two additional trial pits.

• Installation of temporary works to allow specialist access to electrical ducting for repair works.

• Backfilling and reinstatement after completion of duct repairs, followed by final resurfacing, white lining and full site clearance.

Key quantities:

• Hardcore: 3,000 t
• Asphalt Materials: 350 t
• High-Impact Locations: 12

Challenges & successes

With Phase 1 falling over the Christmas period, we successfully completed all scheduled works ahead of the holiday break. This enabled the client to reopen the area to traffic as normal and prevented any significant impact on the local community.

The works extended across 12 high‑impact locations, each with its own operational constraints and stakeholder sensitivities. Through effective planning, sequencing, and clear communication, the team was able to deliver the works safely and efficiently across all areas while minimising disruption.

A complex network of underground services was present throughout the site, requiring detailed surveys and carefully controlled excavation strategies to ensure safe progress. Despite these challenges, the team completed all works without any utility strikes or unplanned outages.

Outputs & Benefits

Health & Safety: There were zero reportable incidents or accidents throughout the works.

Snag-Free Completion: Upon completion, the sites were inspected with the client, and no snags were identified.
