Description
Green Cat Contracting were appointed as Principal Contractor for the BoP works on the Tulchan of Glenisla Hydro Power scheme. Works included the access tracks and drainage, intake structure, pipeline, powerhouse, tailrace and associated cable trenching, all to the strict protocol of the Cairngorms National Park Authority.
Being adjacent to several popular and historic walking and cycling routes across The Mounth, including the popular Monega Pass, the management of interfaces with members of the public was a key concern. This was managed through regular and clear communication with both operatives and the public, and the project was delivered without incident.
