The works are still in progress but it's interesting to see the new new anchored gabion wall at A72 Dirtpot Corner near Peebles coming into shape - all 150m of it!

Designed by MHB Consultants, the gabion wall was designed to resist loads imposed by retained material plus highway traffic. Due to ground conditions it was decided to support the wall on a mini-piled concrete foundation. 

It will be great to see the finished job.

Thanks to Scottish Borders Council for some of the pictures.
