Client: Kingsknowe Golf Club, Edinburgh
Objective
When Kingsknowe Golf Club approached Logan Bruce, they were experiencing persistent flooding at a clean-down area adjacent to their clubhouse. The issue was particularly disruptive during periods of heavy rainfall, impacting both operations and visitor experience.
Following initial investigations and a drainage survey provided by the client, the root cause was identified as a fault within the underground drainage network. Logan Bruce was appointed to deliver a full solution — not just resolving the drainage issue but improving the overall surface finish of the area.
Challenges
Delivering construction works within a live golf club environment presented several complexities:
- Working adjacent to an operational clubhouse and busy car park
- Minimising disruption to members, visitors, and facilities
- Navigating existing underground services
- Managing works during cold weather conditions affecting materials and curing
Solution
A carefully planned and collaborative approach ensured the underground drainage project was delivered safely and efficiently:
- Targeted excavation and replacement of a 13m section of faulty drainage
- Installation of new uPVC drainage, fully integrated with the existing system
- Use of safe digging practices, including CAT & Genny surveys, trial holes, and hand excavation near services
- Close coordination with the client, including agreeing shutdown periods and final surface finishes
- Secure site setup with clear segregation to protect members and visitors
Health, Safety & Quality
Safety and quality were central throughout the project:
- Zero harm approach with no incidents or service strikes
- Full compliance with RAMS and daily toolbox talks
- Continuous supervision and quality checks at every stage of the underground drainage project
- Strict PPE adherence and site inductions for all personnel
- Ongoing communication and daily briefings to maintain safety and programme alignment
To enhance the finished area, a specialist resin bound surface was installed — combining durability with a high-quality aesthetic chosen in collaboration with the client.
Benefits
The project delivered both immediate and long-term value:
- Flooding issue fully resolved with improved drainage performance
- Installation of a durable, visually appealing resin bound surface
- Works completed on time and with minimal disruption
- Positive feedback from the club committee and members
Key Achievements
- Safe delivery within a live operational environment
- Permanent resolution to a long-standing drainage network issue
- High-quality finish meeting both functional and aesthetic goals
- Strong demonstration of Logan Bruce’s commitment to safety, communication, and workmanship
Conclusion
This project highlights Logan Bruce’s ability to deliver practical, high-quality solutions in complex, live environments. By combining technical expertise with clear communication and careful planning, we not only resolved the immediate issue but also enhanced the surrounding area — leaving the client with a long-term underground drainage network solution and improved facility.
