Morrison Construction has won Scotland's Best Project Under £2m at this year's Scottish Civil Engineering Awards for its remediation project at St Andrews.

The awards are widely recognised as the highest honour for engineering excellence in the built environment, showcasing innovation and celebrating the vital contribution civil engineers make to our quality of life. Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA) Scotland is the representative body for companies who deliver, upgrade and maintain Scotland's infrastructure.

This was a rock face reinstatement project conducted by Morrison Construction near Billinge Nook, a local beauty spot on the Fife Coastal Path in St Andrews, Fife, which addressed a hazardous situation as a result of a burst wastewater pipe near the St Andrews Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTW). The incident posed risks to third-party stakeholders, as well as the general public due to its proximity to the Castle Course golf course in the area, and the Fife Coastal Path.


The successful reinstatement of the rock face demonstrated Morrison Construction's commitment to safety, the environment, social value and effective project management. By engaging specialists and maintaining open consistent communication with stakeholders, Morrison Construction achieved a positive outcome for the client, the environment and the wider community as a whole.

Paul Ingham, Managing Director for Morrison Construction's Environment business, said: "Congratulations to Alasdair Morrison, our Senior Project Manager on this project and his team on this outstanding achievement. The focus the team at Morrison Construction has on doing the right things quickly and effectively for local customers and community is superb and aligned with all of our aspirations for delivering for customers."
