As we near completion of our Port of Aberdeen project, we are excited to be able to showcase the installation of the innovative vessel charging system. Special thanks to our supply chain partner Sinewave for providing this glimpse of our work in action! ๐ธ
The Shore Power system is set to revolutionise emissions reduction for ferries docked in Aberdeen. With a robust 1.7 MVA electrical supply, a state-of-the-art substation and an efficient quayside cable management system, paving the way for cleaner, quieter port operations.
This initiative is projected to mitigate over 1,300 tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually, significantly enhancing air quality and reducing noise pollution.

Reflecting on past achievements is always rewarding amidst our current exciting projects. In 2017, our ๐ฆ๐ผ๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ department successfully delivered the complete M&E Services Design & Build for a new 1800 pupil Secondary School, alongside refurbishing the existing Sports Hall building.
From initial concept (RIBA Stage 2) to construction, we ensured compliance with EFA’s requirements and client budget. Working closely with energy modelers, we designed high-efficiency M&E systems meeting stringent energy consumption criteria.
Our commitment to long term performance didnโt end at handover. Thanks to our ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ department, our directly employed team of skilled engineers now support the facility with a planned preventative maintenance (PPM) contract. This ensures the building continues to perform efficiently, with proactive maintenance strategies that maximise system longevity and cost-effectiveness for the client.
Weโre proud to have delivered not just a building, but an ongoing partnership. ๐ค
