New peat management approach carried out on A9 Dualling project

TRANSPORT Scotland has revealed it is driving forward sustainable solutions for major road construction with a new approach towards peat management on the A9 Dualling: Tomatin to Moy project. The scheme involves upgrading 9.6km of single carriageway to dual carriageway, and covers extensive peatland areas, which store carbon. Traditionally in road construction, the peat would be removed and disposed of, which releases stored carbon. Transport Sc…

Peat Plan on A9 Dualling Aims to Cut Carbon and Restore Nature

An ambitious new peatland project is helping to reduce the environmental impact of the A9 Dualling works between Tomatin and Moy. Transport Scotland has launched an innovative Peat Management Plan as part of its work to upgrade 9.6km of the A9 from single to dual carriageway, a section that cuts through deep peatland. Instead of removing and disposing of excavated peat, the plan sets out how the carbon-rich material will be carefully re-used and…
