BT Bell traveled to Orkney, Scotland, in August 2025 to view the progress being made on SSE’s Finstown Substation. BT Bell have carried out all civil and structural design on the project, working as designers for the Siemens BAM joint venture. It was encouraging to see the pace at which the project was progressing, in […]
Kinardochy_01Kinardochy_02Kinardochy_03 2022 saw BT Bell involved in the earthworks design for Kinardochy Substation. This involved the design of an 800m long access road, over varied terrain and ground conditions, and a 66,000m2 platform for the substation. Selection of the final platform level critical to balancing cut and fill, and thereby minimising material transported off site.

Our Role Working in partnership with Siemens, we carried out the design of foundations for the AIS and GIB structures across the site, the structural design of the GIS and […]
BT Bell provided Civil and Structural design services for SSE’s Kergord Substation, a key development in strengthening the transmission network in the Shetland Islands. This 132/33kV substation forms an essential part of the region’s renewable energy infrastructure, supporting the integration of wind and other low-carbon generation into the national grid. Our Role Working closely with […]
Blackhillock substation, located a few miles from Keith is a replacement for the existing substation.
Loch Buidhe substation, located near Bonar Bridge, is part of the Dounreay Beauly line upgrade, specifically designed to increase the level of renewable energy sources contributing to the national grid.
Our engineers designed and advised on the installation of a new electrical substation to provide 60MW of power for the new 400,000m³ natural gas storage facility at Stublach in Cheshire.
This scheme comprises four wind turbines positioned just behind the sea wall adjacent to the River Mersey.
Our provision of specialist technical advice was a key part of the installation of a new turbine generator for the black start power station at Barford in Cambridgeshire.
At Craigengelt we provided full design services for the access track to allow delivery of components for 8 wind turbines to the site.
