Archive Building Carlisle
Our latest project is working with Quarmby on Carlisle’s new archive building at Gilford House. R H Irving’s involvement is to construct the main concrete structure which forms the new part of the building. We will also construct the drainage systems, retaining walls, car parks, roads and walkways for the new development.

A7 Culvert Langholm
Dumfries and Galloway Council awarded R H Irving the contract to construct a large culvert as part of their works in re-routing the A7 at Auchenrivock, near Langholm. Heavy flooding during the summer threw up an unexpected challenge as we constructed a large culvert to effectively bridge a valley, but we completes the works on time and of course on budget.

Stabilising Bank of River Petteril
The River Petteril was becoming very close to eroding under the west coast main line and, Carlisle City Council asked us to undertake works to stabilise the bank using both hard and soft engineering techniques. This work was undertaken whilst rainfall was very high but, the works were finished safely, on budget and on time.

Flood Defense Works at Sheepmount Bridge
R H Irving Construction recently undertook revetment works to the Sheepmount Bridge in Carlisle. Erosion under the bridge support structure was about to cause major damage and a “hard engineering” solution was required on the up-stream side of the bridge, whilst a “soft engineering” solution was called for on the down stream side.
