Arthian responded by developing and delivering a comprehensive suite of environmental management services tailored to the unique demands of the Beauly-Denny project. A bespoke assessment methodology was created to evaluate the risks to over 250 private water supplies, ensuring that each site was individually assessed and that appropriate control measures were put in place to safeguard water quality throughout the construction period.
To maintain high standards of environmental compliance, Arthian conducted more than 100 audits across the project, systematically reviewing site practices and ensuring that all planning conditions and consent requirements were being met. A live/closed actions tracker was established and managed by Arthian, providing a centralised system for monitoring progress, addressing issues, and ensuring that corrective actions were implemented promptly.
Recognising the importance of effective information sharing, Arthian also designed and managed a project-wide environmental web portal. This platform enabled real-time communication and document management for all stakeholders, supporting transparency and facilitating rapid responses to environmental challenges as they arose.
Through this integrated approach, Arthian helped SSE to navigate the complex environmental landscape of the Beauly-Denny Overhead Line Scheme, ensuring that construction activities were carried out responsibly and in full compliance with all relevant planning and environmental requirements.
