Contractor
I&H Brown
End client
EDF Energy Renewables Ltd
Tony Gee provided detailed civil, structural and geotechnical design services for the proposed 20 turbine development which will be able to generate up to 102MW once fully energized.
Our scope included ground investigation and interpretation works, detailed design of site civil infrastructure including access tracks, crane hardstandings, wind turbine foundations, substation platform, culvert water crossings and track drainage, construction compounds and borrow pits.
Utilising our extensive BIM capabilities, we provided integrated 3D models throughout the detailed design phase; a vital communication tool for use with our clients and allows changes to be made quickly. This included Revit modelling of all 3 turbines utilised on site, Civil 3Ddesign was applied on all civil infrastructure and the use of Infodrainage software was used for the compound drainage networks as well as any on-site worst-case solutions.
