Alyth Substation

BT Bell were instructed to provide Civil and Structural design services for SSE’s Alyth Substation, a key component in strengthening Scotland’s electricity transmission network.

Our Role

Working in partnership with Siemens, we carried out the design of foundations for the AIS and GIB structures across the site, the structural design of the GIS and Statcom buildings, and the site drainage systems. Our expertise ensured robust, efficient solutions that addressed both the technical challenges and the long-term performance requirements of this critical infrastructure.

Project Collaboration

This project continued a long and successful relationship with Siemens, with whom we have delivered many successful projects for SSE. Our collaborative approach allowed us to integrate seamlessly into the wider project team, supporting efficient delivery and consistent quality.

Scope of Work

BT Bell’s contribution included:

• • Civil and Structural design of foundations, buildings, and drainage.
  • Technical support and design assurance throughout construction.
  • Infrastructure coordination across the substation platform.
  • Sustainable, buildable solutions aligned with project goals.

Project Impact

The Alyth Substation plays a vital role in enabling greater integration of renewable energy into the national grid. BT Bell’s specialist engineering input helped ensure the successful delivery of a strategically significant asset for Scotland’s energy future.
