The business was started in 1964, when our first job was the clearance of a disused airfield near Perth. From an initial focus on plant hire, we moved into sub-contracting then, from the mid 1970s, into undertaking civil engineering schemes as a Main Contractor and have now successfully carried out around 400 projects. We are now firmly embedded in the construction market and we are proud to be founding members of the Civil Engineering Contractors Association in Scotland.
We added open cast mining to our portfolio in 1985, since then we have extracted more than 3 million tonnes of coal and moved in the process 40 million tonnes of rock and overburden. For many years, we operated our own landfill at Battleby north of Perth and provided a skip hire service in the local area. Although Battleby still operates as a recycling facility, it is currently nearing completion. |
