Redevelopment of Fraserburgh North Harbour to increase port efficiency.
Design & build contract carried out in an exposed tidal location in Fraserburgh Harbour.
Works included dredging of the North Harbour, the existing entrance to the North Harbour, as well as the navigation channel to the main Outer Harbour Channel to remove soft sediments and schist bedrock.
As well as the construction of the new Black Sands Quay, an open pile structure design with rock armour revetment below. The 64m quay also includes a fendered berthing face, bollards and area lighting.
Works also involved the stabilisation of the Middle Jetty, North Pier, Entrance Structure, and West Pier.

Build
This major fishing port remained live throughout our works and was subject to 24-hour working.
As the port had to remain operational, all works were undertaken in the wet with no dewatering of the harbour permitted. We worked collaboratively with the Harbour Master and port users to deliver the project whilst ensuring minimal disruption.
