  • SWS Significant Projects
    SWS Significant Projects Ronnie: Comment. 1. My checker showed spelling and spacing issues. At start I corrected some then changed to showing them as [? Gap etc] or my understanding of the correct spelling [eg Jencks not Jenks]. It might be easier to download this copy to accept or reject changes. 2. Some Irish Job names showed as errors. My system should have all the correct names from other work I have done. Check or leave it until I get back from holiday. 3. I am happy with your choice of ‘significance’. 4. I have added names of key staff [where I know them] and highlighted where I think we should try to add names or at least indicate that there were others who should be acknowledged. Regards, Jim. 14 July 2014. This table attempts to record significant projects carried out by Scott Wilson in the operational areas which became the responsibility of Scott Wilson Scotland (comprising Scotland, North of England, Northern Ireland and Ireland). Prior to the formation of SWS, projects were carried out by the UK Partnership. There is no simple definition of a significant Project. Whilst large projects can easily fall into this category, I have also included projects which added to the geographic and technical expansion of the firm. I have also included projects which created a stream of commissions. In part, the data in itself provides a detailed history of the development of SWS over the years. The data has been taken from job number lists which were obtained from archive catalogues. This data appears very comprehensive from 1971 to 2001.

Cover Photograph: On 16th September 1994, No.85 had her first main outing after overhaul and was piloted by No.171. No.85 was deliberately not worked hard which led to some pleasing sounds being produced by No.171.

Poots) EDITORIAL Another year, another Five Foot Three and what to say that hasn’t already been said by someone else? In recent times, unknown to the Editor, the magazine was entered in a competition whereby it was submitted to the scrutiny of editors, etc., of the national railway press. It was placed 11th out of 20, thereby putting paid to any chance of a swollen editorial head which might have been brought on by kind remarks from readers! One of the panel’s criticisms was that the pages did not have a 2-column layout and that some were comprised solely of text.

  • History of Roads Service.Pub
    1 A History of Roads Service 1973 - 2005 2 3 Foreword In late 2003 the Northern Ireland Branch of the County Surveyors’ Society proposed that Roads Service should commission a printed document describing the creation of the organi- sation and the first 30 years of its history. In addition, consideration was to be given to the establishment of a physical archive of important documents and other material. This proposal was accepted in late 2004 and this document is the result of the efforts of the authors which have included consultation and discussion with many members of staff, both past and present. We were asked to prepare a history that was formal rather than anecdo- tal. It was acknowledged that there would be some overlap with other publications and in par- ticular the Institution of Highways and Transportation Silver Jubilee document of 1989, the Roads Service Jubilee Reflections of 1998, and the Northern Ireland Motorway Achieve- ment of 2002. We considered it important to set the formation of the organisation in the context of the pro- posals to reshape local government which were developed between 1966 and 1970. There are of course proposals stemming from the recent Review of Public Administration which may have far reaching implications for the Roads Service as we have known it over the last 33 years. In a publication such as this, it is not possible to record all organisational changes or cap- ture references to all functions the organisation carried out. However we hope that readers will find something of interest in the document. Finally, this document would not have been possible without the generous assistance of many people, the names of whom we have acknowledged in Appendix E.
