A school building that optimises learning skills, not heating bills. Good luck to the pupils at Columba’s RC High School and Woodmill High School in Dunfermline today, who begin school life in their brand-new school. At 26,666m2, the new school is the largest Passivhaus school in Europe and the first to open its doors in Scotland. The highly-insulated school building will host over 2,500 pupils. The ground-breaking design will drastically reduce the school’s carbon footprint as well as its whole-life running costs, meaning more money can be invested in educating young people rather than heating the building.

A date with destiny 💫 Scotland’s First Minister, John Swinney, became one of the first people to walk across Destiny Bridge this week 🌉 when he visited BAM’s Cross Tay Link Road project, to witness the final stages in the structural completion of the Bridge. Mr Swinney was offered a full progress update on the £150m Perth & Kinross Council. The project will complete in spring 2025, when Destiny Bridge and a new 6km stretch of road will begin to divert traffic away from the most congested parts of Perth city centre, reducing journey times and minimising air pollution. 👉 Read more: https://orlo.uk/YWnI5

Protecting the Severn Estuary railway line from the impacts of climate change. BAM has been working round-the-clock to deliver major resilience work on a line that’s prone to landslips in extreme weather. The work is part of a five-year programme by Network Rail, to make the railway more reliable for generations to come. During a three-week line closure, engineers drilled 800 holes - each between four and five metres deep - before installing rock bolts on the lower slopes. They also put in place a permanent netting system, to hold the slope in place.

Green light for green link 🚦 The UK is one step closer to benefitting from a green energy link which will accelerate the country’s transition away from fossil fuel dependency. Energy regulator, Ofgem, today approved a £3.5bn funding package for Eastern Green Link 2 (EGL2), a new subsea and underground 500km cable between Scotland and Yorkshire which could power up to 2million homes. EGL2 is the first of 26 projects to complete a fast-track process to secure funding through Ofgem’s new ASTI framework. ASTI accelerates the funding process by up to two years, allowing electricity generated by offshore wind to be delivered to British consumers sooner. EGL2 will deliver a 2GW high voltage electricity ‘superhighway’ cable link between Peterhead in Aberdeenshire and Drax in North Yorkshire, which will help harness the potential of British offshore wind power. Most of the cable (around 436km) will be under the North Sea with the remaining 70km buried underground onshore. Working with National Grid, our client SSEN Transmission and our project partners Hitachi Energy, BAM will deliver the two converter stations, one at each end of the cable, which will help to feed the electricity transported by the cable into the grid and from there onto consumers – a crucial role to in helping Britain transition to green energy.

Pre-fab on an epic scale... 🚄 Congratulations to the BAM team involved in the completion of Wendover Dean viaduct deck slide. A major milestone for the delivery of HS2 and a huge engineering achievement years in the making.
We've completed the Wendover Dean Viaduct deck slide 🤩 ✅. Stretching for 450m, the deck was assembled in three stages, ranging from 90m to 180m, with each one pushed out from the north abutment before the next section was attached behind it. This eight-month long process meant that the weight of the deck increased with each push, up from an initial 590 tonnes at the start of work in January - to 3,700 tonnes by the time it reached the south abutment on Saturday.
