A significant day. Construction workers arrived to start two weeks of ground surveying. They will be drilling a number of holes to investigate the land on which the new build will be constructed. The depth and spread of the bank of peat is obviously a key issue that will feed into the planning. An exciting moment for all when we can at last see work being undertaken on the site. It was also good to be able to welcome a representative of Balfour Beatty to the the Guidance department. Steve joined representatives of the CITB to tell S.3 pupils about the wide range of career possibilities in the construction industry. This is the first in many collaborations that will take place between Balfour Beatty and the school in the coming months and years.
