EdinburghBlackford Depot
G3 was appointed to carry out a feasibility study for the redevelopment of an existing City of Edinburgh Council Roads Depot at Blackford Mains in Edinburgh, in order to provide potential options for site redevelopment that maximise site usage and improve operational health and safety. At the present time, the site is utilised for storage of plant, vehicles and roads maintenance materials and includes a substantial salt storage structure. The assessment undertaken included preparation of a geo-environmental desk study, a drainage options appraisal and an initial assessment of site layout and superstructure options. There are a number of engineering challenges associated with the land. Principally, a watercourse forms the southern boundary and management of drainage and run-off is critical to the overall design, ensuring that the risk of contamination is mitigated appropriately. In addition, steep rock slopes associated with a former quarry are present to the north and west, the site topography is variable, and these factors also need to be taken into consideration when redesigning the site.
