Challenge.

Building on our growing relationship with Omexom Renewables, ACS were appointed as civils subcontractor on BESS Brindley, Swindon – a Zenobe Energy Project. The new greenfield development was located on a restricted site, adjacent to a live railway and busy trading estate, so presented numerous challenges to the build.

Solution.

The battery skid foundations were constructed on 200mm precast concrete piles, driven into the substrata to an approximate depth of 15m. Numerous RC strip foundations, equipment bases, and below-ground infrastructure were installed with rigorous planning to maximise outputs and deliver the foundations ahead of Omexom’s plant deliveries. A separate DNO switch room was awarded to ACS and built on time and within budget.
