A new “world-class” multimillion-pound green energy port has taken a major step forward.

A fleet of eight cranes supported by a team of 24 specialists worked on the installation of massive quay walls.

The specialist construction work has been completed at the new site in the north-east of Scotland.

Invergordon-based specialists Sarens PSG was awarded the contract by Bauer Technologies to deploy a fleet of eight powerful crawler cranes to work on the walls at Haventus’s redevelopment of the Ardersier Energy Transition Facility.

Over a six-month period, Sarens PSG worked around the clock to help to build a 660-metre concrete diaphragm wall, with an array of cranes ranging from 100 to 400 tonnes, specially adapted for port development. The quay wall installation project concluded this month bringing the Haventus development one step closer to becoming operational in 2025.

Steve Clark, managing director at Sarens PSG, said: “This is a world-class facility under development. What sets it apart is the vast expanse of land behind the quayside, which offers unparalleled potential for large-scale assembly, manufacturing, storage and deployment. This will support both the ScotWind and INTOG build-out and will rival any existing or planned facility in the UK.”

“We’re proud to partner with Bauer Technologies on this landmark project. Our team has been fully committed to upholding the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and reliability, ensuring that the Haventus site is ready to meet the demands of the offshore wind sector in the coming years.”

Plans for 7,000 new city homes recommended for approval

Plans for 7,000 new homes in the Scottish capital have been recommended for approval.

The ÂŁ2 billion development is described as "one the most significant and sustainable urban expansions of Edinburgh in a generation".

It is claimed the development could help ease the city's housing emergency with homes ready as early as 2026.

'Top class' offices launched in landmark Glasgow building

Three floors of ‘top class’ office space has been launched in one of Glasgow city centre’s “most recognisable’ buildings.

The Boutique Workplace Company has formally opened the serviced space at 9 George Square, and signalled demand for the fully-refurbished space has been high. The firm noted that 9 George Square, with its “grand, listed façade” is now home to “best-in-class” offices, following refurbishment work carried out since it began occupying the three floors in May. Several of the offices look over George Square.

Facilities offered by the new space include meeting rooms, breakout spaces, showers, kitchens, and cycle storage.
