Will Rudd completes Topgolf in Glasgow

Multi-award-winning engineering consultancy Will Rudd Davidson is nearing completion at Topgolf, a high-tech golfing experience, which is due to open its first complex in Glasgow. The company has been carrying out core civil and structural service, with the entertainment venue opening to the public imminently.

Located on Duchess Place, just off the M74, the multi-level complex spans 45,000 sq ft and is seen as an integral part of the ongoing regeneration in the city’s east end.

“It’s great to see this magnificent project now ready to open. I am incredibly proud of the team for all of their hard work in delivering what will likely be a popular leisure destination for people from all across Scotland and further afar,” said MJ O’Shaughnessy, Managing Director, Will Rudd Glasgow and Ireland.

“Given the site’s complexities, it was really important that we worked closely with all of the design team and contractors to deliver what was required, especially in relation to the complex drainage network. For us, it was a great opportunity to showcase the broad range of skills Will Rudd has to offer and it is excellent to see it reach completion,” MJ added.
