Project complexities, simplified by Alpha:
- Interface management across multiple contractors and the client, ensuring foundation zones were delivered in sequence to support transformer placement, battery installation and cable termination without abortive works or programme slippage.
- Commencing works on a pre-engineered cut-and-fill platform, requiring validation of ground levels and bearing capacity to maintain compliance with structural tolerances and avoid redesign risk.
- Staged return to site for compound surfacing and fence modifications, coordinating final works to align with commissioning timelines and security compliance requirements prior to energisation.
Scope of Works
- Construction of reinforced concrete foundations for 16 battery containers and nine x 3.6MVA transformers, delivering compliant structural platforms aligned with BESS loading and equipment tolerances.
- Formation of additional equipment, UKPN substation and control room foundations, ensuring grid interface infrastructure met statutory and DNO specification requirements.
- Installation of 250m Procter mesh perimeter fencing and secure double compound gates, delivering compliant security in accordance with energy infrastructure protection standards.
- Installation of drainage and ducting systems, supporting service integration, cable routing and long-term compound resilience.
- Provision of CCTV and lighting columns, enhancing operational safety, monitoring capability and regulatory compliance.
- Final compound surfacing works, including stone sub-base and gravel chippings, ensuring a stable, maintainable and energisation-ready BESS environment.
