Robertson To Develop Road Bridge For Glenlivet Distillery In Moray

Construction News Image
Robertson has won a contract to develop a new road-bridge for an iconic whisky distillery in Moray.

The company's Civil Engineering division will engineer the structure for the Glenlivet Distillery in Speyside.

The contract was awarded by Chivas Brothers.

The firm will design and build a three-arch bridge in collaboration with architects Archial Norr.

A team of 17 expert engineers, surveyors and tradesmen will erect the structure over a 20-week period and will be fit for purpose by mid-summer 2016.

The bridge will be built in the style of The Glenlivet signifier - the pack-horse bridge - and will form the entrance to the visitor centre.

Previously, Robertson successfully built Chivas Brothers' Dalmunach Distillery in Glen Carron on the banks of the Spey in 2015.

MD of Robertson Civil Engineering, Tony Fry, said: "We are now in the advanced planning stages with the architect and Chivas Brothers, and anticipate breaking ground on 29th February."

Gordon Buist, Production Director at Chivas Brothers, said: "The Bridge is part of wider works that are taking place at The Glenlivet distillery, which will enhance our production facilities. We are committed to operational excellence at our Scottish sites, and are delighted to be working with Robertson Civil Engineering again following a successful partnership last year culminating in our Dalmunach Distillery."
