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.

Our enabling works prepared the site for construction safely and efficiently. As a result, excavation and foundation works progressed without delay while providing a stable platform for the next phase of the development.

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

The earthworks and foundation package created a stable platform for the new workshop and motel buildings. In addition, careful excavation and reinforced concrete foundation works ensured long-term structural performance and durability.

Together, these works provided the stable foundations needed to support the new development safely and efficiently.

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 retaining wall was designed to provide long-term stability across the site. Furthermore, integrated drainage and waterproofing systems help protect the structure while supporting effective water management.

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

Concrete Floor Construction

Reinforced concrete floor slabs were constructed for both the workshop and motel buildings. Insulation, damp-proof membranes, reinforcement mesh, and finished concrete surfaces were installed to create durable, high-quality structural floors.

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

Once completed, the external works provided safe site access and effective drainage. Consequently, the development benefits from reliable water management and long-term operational performance.

Project Outcome

This project demonstrates Menzies’ ability to deliver complex civil engineering, groundworks, reinforced concrete, and drainage works as part of a major commercial development. Through careful planning and coordinated delivery, the completed infrastructure provides long-term stability, functionality, and resilience for the Pettycur Bay Holiday Park workshop and motel development.
