When off-site road closures threatened the timely delivery of vital transmission infrastructure, Brockwell Energy didn’t sit back - we stepped in.
A planned delivery route for three supergrid transformers was unexpectedly disrupted by a road slip, putting pressure on an already tight programme. With time of the essence, we offered an alternative solution - routing the delivery through our North Kyle site.
Thanks to North Kyle’s strategic location and the agility of our team and partners, we were able to make it happen. The route through site wasn’t straightforward - it required detailed assessments and extensive track upgrades to safely accommodate some seriously heavyweight kit:
- One 120-tonne transformer
- Two 170-tonne transformers
- The largest load, including vehicle, clocked in at a staggering 300 tonnes!
The track upgrade works were delivered to an exceptional standard by Jones Bros, and the complex logistics of the delivery itself were expertly managed by Colletts.
Once again, North Kyle proves the value of collaboration, smart thinking, and staying solution-focused - even when the road ahead isn’t quite as planned.
