What our clients say...

Featured Case Studies

Peterhead Substation

Under an NEC3 subcontract, we built a 2000m² GIS Substation, two transformer buildings, a 210m x 150m platform, reinforced structures, improved access, and installed underground cabling with GRP covers.

Neilston Grid Stability Facility

NEC4 Option A contract involved the construction of a 653m² portal frame for a Synchronous Condenser, with 8500m² platform, 1km access road, fencing and earthing - providing robust, secure foundations for long-term operation.

Pitkevey BESS Fife, Scotland

The project covered full BoP works for a 50MW battery storage site in Fife, including access roads, drainage, switchrooms, 33kV cabling, MV transformers, BESS units, and 2km of DNO cabling over sensitive terrain.

Pitkevy 40 MW BESS Project

Our teams delivered the Civil and Electrical works associated with a new 50MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
