REGIONAL SPOTLIGHTS

Glasgow

With Glasgow being the place Mackenzie was born, we’ve built and established relationships with a number of key clients and partners across the central belt.

We asked our Construction Director, Mark Wilson, to tell us his project highlights from the last 12-months, and he has a lot to touch on.

Scottish Water

Our continued delivery of work to address water quality for Scottish Water has seen over 100 Clear Water Tanks & District Service Reservoirs being refurbished, the delivery of over 80 critical sampling stations and over 30 bypass projects being carried on large diameter strategic mains.

Scottish Canals

Working with our partners to complete the critical installation of the Lock Gates at Crinan Canal was a real highlight. The site teams faced challenging conditions but were still able to deliver on time and within budget.

Royal Botanic Gardens

As part of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh Biomes’ Project, which aimed to conserve plant life through restoration and providing new facilities for cutting edge science, we have successfully delivered enabling works to a value of £850K!

Other notable projects include: the completion of Lionthorn Landscaping Project in Falkirk for new client Green Action Trust, with a value of £700k; The continued success and delivery of Landmarc Support Services projects at Garehochhead and Fort George circa £1.5m has led to new clients Reds 10; Scottish Water Horizons continued healthy delivery of Pumping Stations, SUDS and Vesting works.

Alongside the positive project highlights, it’s been great to see several internal promotions to the demanding role of Project Manager. The following colleagues, who started their careers with MCL as trainees or graduates, have recently been promoted: Jonny Hall, Stuart MacNicol, Craig Waton, Paul Ferry, Scott MacDonald and Chris Magee.

We’ve also successfully introduced the Site Manager role, which elevates long serving and experienced Foremen to advanced management positions. Thomas Baird and Ritchie Bennett have recently progressed into this new position.

Above is a delivery overview showing 156 sites started and finished between March 23rd 2023 and April 24th 2023 (including 115 Sample Taps), 56 ongoing live sites and 108 new contracts by mid 2024.
