A UK-first for sustainable construction methods at Ardrossan Community Campus

Morgan Sindall Construction is making history at the Ardrossan Community Campus.

The new campus will house both Winton Primary and Ardrossan Academy, alongside public library and swimming pool facilities, serving as a catalyst for wider regeneration including new housing and commercial uses.

Morgan Sindall Construction is working with North Ayrshire Council and SCAPE Scotland to deliver this transformational redevelopment that will provide a major boost for the entire area.

Morgan Sindall Construction’s innovative approach to the Ardrossan Community Campus has set new standards for sustainable construction in the UK. Working in partnership with specialist contractor Roger Bullivant Limited (RBL), the team deployed the groundbreaking Junttan PMx2e pile driving rig, demonstrating commitment to pioneering environmental solutions while maintaining operational excellence.

Stuart Parker, Managing Director of Morgan Sindall Construction in Scotland, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be pioneering sustainable construction methods at Ardrossan Community Campus. This project represents a significant milestone for the UK construction industry – being the first to deploy a fully battery-powered pile driving rig demonstrates our commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility.”

Morgan Sindall Construction’s innovative partnership approach has demonstrated that major infrastructure projects can be delivered with minimal environmental impact, setting a new benchmark for sustainable innovation in the UK construction industry and contributing to North Ayrshire Council’s net-zero ambitions.

Councillor Tony Gurney, Cabinet Member for Green Environment and Economy, said:

“We are committed to being a net-zero Council and it is fantastic that this is being met during construction of the new Campus. The facility, when complete, will not only be a great place for our young people to learn and thrive but will meet high standards for energy efficiency.”
