Pettycur Bay Holiday Park

Workshop & Motel Development

Client: Pettycur Bay Holiday Park
Location: Kinghorn
Principal Contractor: Menzies
Sector: Civil Engineering
Project Duration: 2 years

Overview

Menzies was appointed to deliver a comprehensive package of civil engineering, groundworks, drainage infrastructure, and reinforced concrete works for the development of a new workshop and motel facility at Pettycur Bay Holiday Park.

The project required extensive enabling works, excavation, foundation construction, retaining wall installation, drainage infrastructure, and external works to support the successful delivery of the new development.

Working closely with project stakeholders, our team delivered the works safely, efficiently, and to specification while providing the structural and civil engineering elements required to support long-term site performance.

Enabling Works

Initial works included demolition of existing structures, vegetation clearance, site preparation, and boundary wall removal to prepare the site for construction.
Ground investigations and trial excavations were undertaken to confirm ground conditions and inform the construction programme before major excavation activities commenced.

Earthworks & Foundations

Large-scale earthworks and excavation works were carried out to create the new building platform and support foundation construction.
The project included:

Excavation and formation works
Reinforced pad foundations
Strip foundations
Reinforced concrete slabs
Structural concrete pours
Reinforcement installation

These works provided the stable foundation required to support the new development.

Retaining Wall Construction

A key element of the project involved the construction of a substantial reinforced concrete retaining wall designed to stabilise the site and support the proposed development platform.

Works included:

Excavation for wall formation
Reinforced concrete foundation slabs
Reinforced retaining wall construction
Waterproofing systems
Geotextile layers
Free-draining backfill
Perforated drainage systems

The completed retaining structure provides long-term stability while supporting effective site drainage and water management.

Concrete Floor Construction

Menzies installed reinforced concrete floor slabs for the workshop facility, including insulation, damp-proof membranes, reinforcement mesh, and finished concrete surfaces.
A reinforced suspended upper floor slab was also constructed to support the motel accommodation structure.

External Works & Drainage

The project included the installation of external infrastructure and drainage systems to support the completed development.

Works included:

Surface water drainage
Foul drainage systems
Manholes
Filter drains
Access routes
External hardstanding areas

These elements ensured the site was fully operational and supported effective water management across the development.

Project Outcome

The project was successfully delivered over a two-year period, providing the civil engineering, structural concrete, retaining structures, drainage systems, and infrastructure required to support the new workshop and motel development.
The completed works provide long-term stability, functionality, and resilience while supporting the operational requirements of the site.
