Transport Scotland - A90 Carse of Gowrie roadworks information: FOI release

Information requested

Information regarding the current roadworks on the A90 between Glendoick and Inchture being managed by AMEY.

Can you tell me how many hours have been worked on the scheme between the start of the works up until todays date. For clarity, I mean man hours / person hours so for example, if 10 people worked an eight hour shift, that would be 80 hours.

I specifically mean workers on site, not office based tasks or design work done in advance.

Response

Please see below information which contains how many hours have been worked on site on the A90 Carse of Gowrie roadworks scheme:

Drainage Contactor – 1200 hours (3x ops, 8hrs) 50 days

VRS Contractor – 6000 hours (10 x ops, 10 hrs) 60 days

TM Contactor – 6048 hours (3 x maintenance ops per 12 hour shift, 24 hours for duration of works) 84 days

Amey Site Supervision – 1200 hours (1x supervisor days, 1 x supervisor nights, 10 hrs, 60 days

Total = 14,488 hours

It should be noted that the 24/7 TM is required to protect all road users due to gaps in and incomplete Vehicle Restraint Systems (VRS)
