Battery Energy Storage Systems
We deliver the civil engineering and building works required to support Battery Energy Storage projects across the UK.
We work on a range of energy storage facilities, providing practical, buildable solutions that support safe installation and long-term operation.
Our experience includes containerised battery storage systems, purpose-built and adapted buildings, and associated infrastructure works for grid-connected energy storage schemes.
We have also supported innovative energy storage projects using alternative storage technologies, including systems based on super-cooled and liquefied air, demonstrating our ability to work with both established and emerging energy solutions.

Why Alpha Construction Ltd?
We support clients from the earliest stages of a project to help shape practical, buildable solutions before work starts on site.
Adding Value Early
Early Contractor Involvement allows us to contribute our delivery experience during the design and planning stages, helping test options against real site conditions and reduce the risk of later change
Trusted Delivery Teams
Our directly employed teams provide continuity, accountability and practical site experience throughout delivery, supporting consistent standards of safety, quality and programme management.
Proven in High-Risk Environments
We regularly deliver projects in live, complex and highly regulated environments where safety, planning and coordination are critical. This experience allows us to manage risk effectively and maintain control of programme and quality, even when conditions are challenging.
Framework & Public Sector Ready
Our processes and reporting are aligned with framework and public sector requirements, supporting strong governance, transparency and compliant delivery throughout the life of a project.
Transparent, Competitive Pricing
We provide clear, considered pricing supported by open communication around scope, risk and delivery requirements. This helps clients make informed decisions and maintain greater visibility over costs throughout the project.
Relationship-Driven Delivery
We work collaboratively with clients, designers and stakeholders to build long-term working relationships based on trust, communication and consistent delivery. This results in smoother projects, quicker resolution of issues, and stronger outcomes over time.
FAQs
We believe strong working relationships begin with clear, open communication. Here, we answer some of the questions clients commonly ask about our delivery approach, commercial processes and experience.
Can Alpha assist with technical buildability during the design phase?
Yes. Through Early Contractor Involvement, our delivery teams review developing designs from a construction perspective, identifying potential issues such as utility clashes, ground conditions and access constraints before work begins. This practical input helps the wider project team develop solutions that are buildable, proportionate and aligned with programme and commercial requirements.
How does Alpha demonstrate its compliance standards in practice?
Compliance is embedded in the way we plan, manage and review our work, rather than being treated solely as a certification requirement. Alongside our ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 accreditations, our approach includes daily site inspections by Site Managers, monthly formal safety tours by Contracts Managers and our Operations Director, and independent safety audits every two weeks.
Together, these checks provide ongoing oversight of our Integrated Management System, help verify that required hold points are followed and give clients a clear audit trail throughout delivery.
How do you manage construction works within live or high-risk environments?
We have extensive experience working in complex environments where maintaining business continuity is a key consideration. Whether operating within a manufacturing facility or critical utility site, our approach begins with project-specific planning through our Integrated Management System.
We develop appropriate SHEQ and environmental plans to identify and manage foreseeable operational risks, including noise, dust, access, logistics and segregation. Through regular liaison with clients and stakeholders, we coordinate our activities to help works progress safely and methodically while minimising the effect on existing operations and infrastructure.
What are the benefits of Alpha’s self delivery model?
Unlike management-only contractors, we operate with a directly employed workforce. This gives us greater visibility and control over safety, quality, behaviour and programme across the core works we self-deliver, including groundworks, drainage and concrete construction.
Reducing our reliance on external supply chains for critical activities can also provide greater continuity, quicker responses to changing site conditions and clearer accountability throughout delivery. This supports the consistent, right-first-time culture we aim to maintain across our projects.
