Aberdeen City Centre and Beach Master Plan Update

17 January 2025

Construction works have resumed on all project sites following the Christmas and New Year break.

Project Works – Union Street Central

The installation of the new concrete base which will carry the granite carriageway is underway at the east end of the works site near Attic and Aberdeen Vinyl Records and is progressing well.

The excavation of a 30m trench near the west end of the site to identify any unknown services is also continuing. To support these works, the site cabin and welfare units have been relocated to the west end of the site, opposite Union Terrace Gardens.

Access for authorised vehicles and deliveries to businesses, will continue as normal, one way west to east along Union Street Central.

 

Project Works – Market

We are beginning to install the steel framework in the former British Home Stores building. On the main market building, work is progressing on new service, lift, and escalator pits, along with preparations for in-situ concrete walls. Concrete repairs and remedial work on existing walls and slabs are advancing steadily. The construction of in-situ concrete walls will continue over the next seven months

 

Project Works – Beachfront

Work has begun on detaching the former beach leisure centre from the adjoining Beach Ballroom in preparation for the demolition of the leisure centre later this year.

As part of that work, a new temporary car park will be constructed behind the existing ice arena, which will remain open as normal and in operation during all the works.

Works are also continuing constructing new paths and upgrading the existing path network on the Broadhill. New furniture and viewing points are also being installed.

Drainage works are underway on the new events field in preparation for constructing an amphitheatre and further drainage works are being undertaken on the new beach park area.
