Breedon Group has won the Supplier Award at the 2026 Concrete Society Awards for its work on Destiny Bridge in Perth.

The bridge was part of the £150 million Cross Tay Link Road project, for which Breedon supplied almost 18,000 cubic metres of concrete.

As the principal construction materials supplier, Breedon worked with BAM UK & Ireland on a bespoke concrete solution. It developed ten mixes for the bridge's foundations, piers, abutments and deck sections, designed to meet strength, durability and sustainability requirements.

Scott Dick, Breedon's area director for Scotland, said: "We're delighted to win such an important award in our sector, which recognises the fantastic work and expertise the team brought to this landmark project for Perth and the wider region.

"Destiny Bridge certainly presented some challenges, but our team's determination and close partnership with BAM UK & Ireland helped us overcome them. We're proud to have helped bring the vision behind this important new crossing to life."

The project presented technical and logistical challenges, including the need for concrete that remained workable during complex pours while developing strength quickly. Overnight deliveries also had to be coordinated around tightly controlled railway closures.

Extensive testing and supplies from five production sites helped the team meet those demands and maintain construction progress.

According to Breedon, the bespoke mixes contributed to carbon savings of up to 37% for the bridge deck mixes and up to 48% for other structural elements.
