To facilitate a grid connection for a proposed wind farm, Barhale were tasked with the construction of a new substation control building and associated civil works. Works took place to the west of the village of Douglas in South Lanarkshire.
The new substation control building was a single story steel portal frame structure, which was constructed on top of a reinforced concrete floor slab. External facing bricks were constructed to a defined level, in front of which an insulated aluminium cladding façade was attached to the frame to provide the external walls. The same cladding was attached to the top of the steel portal frame to construct the roof structure.
