Aberdeen City Council has commissioned Concept Engineering Consultants Limited to carry out the work on behalf of Aberdeen City Region Deal.

The work will involve a ground penetrating radar survey, road cores, trial pits and boreholes, on and adjacent to the existing Coast Road and Hareness Road.

The results of the investigation work will help inform the design of future upgraded access to the new Aberdeen South Harbour at Nigg Bay, which includes a proposed new bridge over the Aberdeen to Edinburgh railway line.
