Galliford Try Digital Infrastructure has been appointed by Dumfries and Galloway Council to lead the design and preconstruction phase for a programme of new Mobility Hubs across the region.
The project has been awarded through the Crown Commercial Service’s Construction Works and Associated Services framework and marks a key step forward in the business’s strategy to expand into Electric Vehicle (EV) charging and sustainable infrastructure.
The new hubs will support the shift to low-carbon travel and provide essential facilities to help local communities adopt greener transport options.
The project forms part of a wider programme of upgrades to the region’s active and sustainable transport network supported by the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund. The fund invests in local infrastructure that improves everyday life across the UK, including regenerating town centres and high streets, upgrading local transport, and investing in cultural and heritage assets.
The hubs are expected to utilise low carbon construction techniques and will bring together rapid and dual EV charging bays, smart-enabled bike and e-bike storage, a car sharing club and cycle repair facilities, and a community space with real-time journey information.
Andy Duggins, Managing Director of Galliford Try Digital Infrastructure, commented: “This appointment represents a strategic milestone for our business that aligns with our ambition to lead the delivery of digitally connected, sustainable infrastructure across the UK.
“We’re excited to support Dumfries and Galloway Council in achieving their low-carbon goals as well as supporting our wider business objectives around carbon reduction, sustainable delivery, and helping local authorities meet the transport needs of tomorrow.”
