Groundworks for renewable energy projects

Civils & groundwork
Civils & groundwork

With our extensive experience in forestry, peat, upland, and remote sites we are able to effectively support wind, solar, battery storage, and grid projects from initial site access through to completion.  Safety and environmental protection are central to how we work and we deliver all works in line with planning regulations and industry best practice, including pollution prevention, water protection and responsible material management.

Renewable energy projects are typically sited in remote rural locations which present access and environmental challenges. Our rural expertise and specialist equipment allow us to address these challenges through the following services:

  • Groundworks: Excavation and earthworks, turbine and substation bases, cable trenching, crane pads, compounds, and hard standings.
  • Drainage and water management: Temporary and permanent drainage, cut-off and interceptor drains, flood mitigation, and erosion control.
  • Trackways and ditching: Temporary and permanent access tracks, floating roads, ditching, culverts, crossings, and headwalls.
  • Forestry and scrub clearance: Site clearance, selective and full felling, scrub removal, mulching, stump treatment, and ground preparation.
