Housing development consisting of over 200 new built homes which will eventually form Tornagrain as the Highlands’ newest town.

Tornagrain is the Highlands’ newest town, just 8 miles east of Inverness with a mix of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes and apartments. Tornagrain sets the standards for modern homes and is a long-term vision to create a sustainable town, eventually comprising 5,000 homes and many job spaces as well as high quality amenity spaces.

Cameron + Ross provided a range of engineering services to design exceptional amenity spaces, local shops and neighbourhood squares.

With our extensive experience in infrastructure design, we lead investigation works including Transportation, Flood Risk Management, Drainage Assessments, Ground Investigations and Earthworks analysis.

Working closely with the client and design team we ensured the design of roads, drainage and utilities throughout the site provided our client with a flexible build programme as well as taking cognisance of the existing constraints which cross the site.

Significant slopes inhibit standard development in parts of the site and Cameron + Ross worked closely with the design team to evolve a suitable design layout incorporating residential street/open area where the living environment predominates over any provision for traffic.

Throughout the project we engaged with Statutory and Local Authorities gaining the required technical consents timeously through consultation with the Highland Council, Scottish Water, SEPA and relevant utility providers.
