⛰️What does safe project delivery in remote terrain look like?

For our teams on the SSEN Transmission Beauly to Loch Buidhe project, it starts with investing in the right skills.

Great to see Story's Energy team in Scotland taking part in Mountain Awareness Training provided by Glenmore Lodge , reinforcing key areas including hazard awareness, weather assessment, navigation, emergency response, and effective planning.

A strong reminder that preparation, competence and teamwork remain at the heart of keeping our people safe.

Demolition of the existing masonry arch structure at Muriespot Bridge (OB 090/106) for Scotland's Railway is now underway, marking a key milestone in this bridge replacement project.

Once completed, the new single-span pre - stressed concrete structure will provide a safer, more resilient asset with a 120-year design life while supporting future enhancements to the railway network.

Current progress includes:
🔹 1,500 tonnes of material to be removed during demolition
🔹 Over 3,560 hours worked across eight shifts
🔹 800 tonnes of stone to be installed to reinstate embankments

A fantastic effort from everyone involved as work continues to progress safely and efficiently on site

As work continues at the future Cleator Moor Community Hub, our team is beginning to uncover the character and history hidden within the building.

Working on behalf of Cumberland Council, the early stages of the project have revealed a number of original architectural features, including parquet flooring, an original library archway, fireplaces and decorative ceiling roses. These discoveries offer a fascinating glimpse into the building's past and, wherever possible, will be carefully preserved and restored as part of its transformation.

The project forms part of the wider Cleator Moor Town Deal programme and will breathe new life into underused buildings, creating a vibrant community space while celebrating the heritage that makes the site unique.

The scheme included the demolition of the existing salt barn and office buildings, installation of new drainage infrastructure including an interceptor and piling mats, construction of a new two-storey office building with associated car parking, and refurbishment of the existing vehicle maintenance building.

🤝Delivered through close collaboration with the client, the project has enhanced the depot's facilities and infrastructure, creating a modern, fit-for-purpose environment to support National Highways' operations.

A major milestone has been reached at Cardenden Station, with the new footbridge and lift structure successfully installed.

Delivered for our client Scotland's Railway, the works form part of the project to electrify and modernise the railway in Fife.

During a single weekend possession, 78 tonnes of steelwork were installed across nine crane lifts. Once complete, the new bridge and lifts will provide step-free access between platforms while creating space for the overhead wires that will power future battery-electric trains.

A fantastic achievement by the project team and supply chain partners. 🚆
