Another - this time to 2020 and one of our most unique challenges – decommissioning a weather station on the remote, uninhabited island of Sule Skerry, 35 miles west of Orkney.
No skip. No disposal facilities. A designated Special Protection Area teeming with puffins, gannets and seals. A tiny window of opportunity between breeding seasons. And the only way in? By helicopter.
Working alongside PDG Aviation Services and with guidance from Scottish Natural Heritage, we successfully dismantled and removed the structures back to the mainland with minimal disruption to the island’s wildlife.
Projects like this are a reminder of what can be achieved with the right planning, teamwork and a genuine can-do attitude.
A huge thank you again to everyone involved in making this unique operation a success.
