Client: Stena Line
Type of works: Installation of a new walkway and waiting canopy
Bailey Streetscene was approached to manufacture and install a new walkway and waiting canopy for the bus terminal at Stena Lines new ferry Port at Loch Ryan. The £200 million port in south-west Scotland was built to replace the previous facility in Stranraer which saw its last sailing in November 2011.
The structure is over 90 mtrs in length, and is calculated to withstand the extreme wind forces particular to this location. Only two weeks after installation the structure withstood winds of 80 to 100mph during a Met office Red alert weather warning.
The "Claw" design structure and installations had to fit around many issues, prior to and on site:
- CAD Layout drawing details for approval
- Site design changes
- Compulsory independent structural audits and approvals
- The base levels varied along the total length of the structure
- Strict timescales and liaison with many other trades on site
- Changing weather conditions due to the time of year
- Budget restraints
Bailey Streetscene successfully over came the issues during the 3 month time scale of the scheme. Constant client consultations and structural calculations (both in house and externally) along with flexible site working ethics and timescales, all contributed to the successful conclusion to the programme. The product value of around £80K was completed safely, within budget and on time to the satisfaction of the contractor and client.
