Thirty-one people will live within 20 metres of our boundary for all 64 weeks. We have planned the site around them: no construction traffic crosses their routes, the loudest work ends in week 14, and each resident has one named person to call.
A site planned around the residents
Our entrance is on Kirkland Street, on the far side from Braehead Court. A 2.4 metre hoarding with an acoustic lining runs along the shared boundary from day one. The residents’ footpath stays open and lit, and no site vehicle crosses it.
Deliveries
Deliveries are booked in half-hour slots between 9.30am and 2.30pm, clear of the care staff shift change at 3pm. A traffic marshal meets every vehicle at the gate. Wagons wait at our Ayr depot, 14 minutes away, and never on Braehead Road.
Noise and vibration
Piling is the loudest work. We will use bored piles, which avoid the hammering of driven piles, and finish in week 14. Boundary monitors send live readings to the site manager. Above 70 decibels for 15 minutes, work stops until the cause is fixed.
One named person
Morag Baird, our resident liaison officer, has held the role on four similar projects. She will hold a weekly drop-in at Braehead Court and bring a two-week look-ahead to every door.
