Challenge
Loch Ryan Port development was a complex project which incorporated many disciplines including project management, maritime engineering, coastal modelling and engineering, roads engineering, waste water treatment, architecture, structural engineering and environmental monitoring. Complex engineering challenges included:
- Meeting the needs of various statutory and other stakeholders
- High variability in the ground conditions, ranging from rock at surface to up to 30+ m of very soft alluvial clays
- Environmental constraints on dredging activity
- A major new roads junction
- Waste water treatment
Solution

RPS prepared and managed a range of environmental and statutory consenting processes to ensure the project met all statutory requirements.
RPS effectively project managed a multi-disciplinary team including Civil Engineers, Building & Structural Engineers, Environmental Engineers, Mechanical & Electrical Engineers, Architects and Environmental Planners. Through extensive planning, design, procurement and construction stages the project was delivered on time and within budget.
