Glenample Hydro Scheme

Description

Green Cat Contracting were appointed as Principal Contractor for the BoP works on the Glenample Hydro Power scheme. Works included the access tracks and drainage, intake structures, 1.7km of buried pipeline, powerhouse, tailrace, and cable trenching; all to the strict protocol of the Trossachs National Park Authority.

With access even to the powerhouse compound across a significant length of unclassified and unpaved track, access to site with materials proved difficult. An onsite borrow pit was utilised to generate stone, structural concrete had to be mixed and rigorously tested on site, and pipework, rebar and other materials were flown in by helicopter.
