Conexus North, Poniel, Douglas, Lanark
The Conexus North development site comprises a former open cast mine (now occupied by Dewars), restored in 2010. The landholding extends to over 200 acres and has planning permission in principle for a variety of uses, including Classes 4,5,6 and energy related opportunities. The development is served by a dedicated spine road which connects directly to Junction 11 of the M74.

As part of our commission Woolgar Hunter were requested to provide engineering support in respect to an updated masterplan, along with site development design for infrastructure enabling works cost planning.
This support included the provision of a geo-environmental desk study along with internal road design, earthworks strategy (including platforming levels and volumes), site wide drainage design and associated modelling.
The scheme was designed to take cognisance of the existing topography to minimise the extent of earthworks across the site and incorporate existing features into the wider SUDs strategy. The design also sought to respect the rural nature of the development and maintain key corridors for wildlife movement along existing watercourses minimising and works around these features.
