Lehane, Mackenzie and Shand was a British civil engineering and construction company, and responsible for some of Scotland's most iconic bridges.

History

Lehane Mackenzie & Shand Ltd was incorporated on 8 April 1974. In February 1981, the Alexander Shand group of companies was bought for £24.8m by Charter Consolidated.[1] It was officially dissolved in October 2012.[2]

Structure

Its main headquarters was south of Rowsley in Derbyshire, on the A6 road.[3] Derbyshire County Council has a site in the former headquarters. The company was a subsidiary of Alexander Shand (Holdings) Ltd.[4] Alexander Shand was a former President of the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors, and made a CBE in the 1984 New Year Honours.

Gas pipelines

It had a pipeline division on Kiln Lane in Immingham; this became MK-Shand, when merged with M.K. River Constructie Maatschappij of the Netherlands, and built gas pipelines for the Gas Council in the early 1970s. It did much work in the North Sea.
