Garmouth Viaduct Update
Following the partial collapse of Garmouth Viaduct, Moray Council has been progressing plans to safely remove the collapsed sections from the river.
The project was initially procured in two stages through an existing council framework. The first stage involved developing a removal methodology and estimating the cost of the work. However, once this assessment was completed, the estimated cost exceeded the framework's allowable limit. As a result, the second stage, the physical removal of the collapsed sections, was procured through a full competitive tender process open to suitably qualified contractors.
Four contractors submitted bids, with the contract awarded to TMS Ltd, an experienced marine and civil engineering contractor with expertise in both land and water-based works.
Initial meetings with the contractor are scheduled to take place this month, and further details, including timescales for the removal works, will be shared in the coming weeks.
