Used Construction Equipment: for 2.7km Forth Replacement Crossing

Used construction equipment eyes four major contractors: Morgan Est, BAM Nuttall, Balfour Beatty and VINCI Construction Grands Projects, confirmed they will work as an integrated joint venture to participate in the procurement of Transport Scotland’s £1.7 to £2.3 billion Forth Replacement Crossing.

They have joined together as Forthspan to address the demands of this major project which is vital to Scotland’s economy. MSloane Consulting is set to provide high-performing used construction equipment when called for this project.

Forthspan is a strong Scottish-based group that has been formed to prequalify and bid for the UK’s most significant new bridge in 20 years. All four businesses have a solid record of delivering major infrastructure schemes in Scotland and throughout the world and now jointly will provide the full range of skills, resources and technical expertise required for such a large scale project. They will be supported by a world class design team including Halcrow Group, Cowi A/S, (incorporating Flint and Neill partnership) and WA Fairhurst and Partners.

Funded by Transport Scotland, the 2.7km Forth Replacement Crossing will be located to the west of the existing Forth Road Bridge and will provide a new high quality dual carriageway crossing of the Firth of Forth along with associated approach roads, junction improvements and an intelligent transport control system.
