Earthwork and the Weather

It is a universal truth in Scotland that just when you want to start site investigation works or earthwork platforming works that the weather takes a turn for the worst. Like farmers who are at the mercy of the rain clouds so are all ground workers. Sometimes it is a matter of having the right equipment and clothes, however, the complex relationship between soils and water can result in an troublesome halts and expensive delays not to mention the ever present health and safety concerns. 

It is with this background that we start another cycle of platforming works at Bishopton. Alex and Edwina, once they have donned the right clothing, will brave the elements to ensure that settlement monitoring results in the site being fit for purpose later this year.
