Construction of wind farm infrastructure including high-precision turbine foundations & control building works

Client : RES UK Ltd

End User : Manor Farm AD Ltd.

Location : Cambridgeshire

Contract Value : £760,000

Project complexities, simplified by Alpha:

  1. Managing large-volume concrete pours (up to 270m³ per pour), requiring detailed planning, coordination and execution to ensure structural integrity and programme compliance.
  2. Working under strict planning constraints, including fixed access routes and deadlines for completion of concrete pours, requiring disciplined logistics and programme control.
  3. Achieving high-precision setting out of reinforcement, ducting and holding down bolts, ensuring alignment with turbine structures and avoiding costly rework.
  4. Coordinating logistics and material delivery, ensuring timely supply of concrete and reinforcement to meet tight programme windows and maintain pour continuity.

Scope of Works:

  • Construction of the wind farm control building and compound, including reinforced concrete foundations, rendered blockwork structure, pitched fibre cement roofing, high-security doors and internal finishes.
  • Delivery of external infrastructure, including drainage systems, underground cess tank, rainwater harvesting system, access roads, hardstanding and surface finishes.
  • Construction of 4 No. turbine foundations, each comprising a 16m diameter reinforced concrete base slab and 5m diameter top slab.
  • Installation of significant holding down bolt assemblies, requiring precise positioning to meet tight tolerance requirements for turbine installation.
  • Execution of large-scale reinforced concrete works, with approximately 800 tonnes of concrete and 50 tonnes of reinforcement per foundation.
  • Installation of perimeter security fencing, completing the operational compound.
