Construction milestone reached for 308 MW Onshore Wind farm in UK

Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK has reached a significant construction milestone with the first pouring of concrete on turbine foundations of 308 MW Sanquhar II Wind Farm located in Dumfries and Galloway and East Ayrshire, Scotland.

Jones Bros is the principal contractor for the GBP400 million (US$538 million) 44  V162 Vestas turbine scheme, which will have the capacity to power more than 335,000 homes annually. Once operational, the wind facility will offset around 540,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.

The CWP Energy-led development will be the fourth-largest wind farm in the UK.

Further scheduled activity for Jones Bros includes the creation of new access tracks and associated crane hardstanding to allow for turbine delivery and erection, along with two substation platforms for exporting power. First power generation from the wind farm in south west Scotland is expected in 2027.
