Clyde Wind Farm is the largest consented onshore wind farm in Europe, comprising 152 reinforced concrete gravity bases for Siemen's 2.3MW turbines with hub heights of 80m and blade diameters of 90m.

Fairhurst's role on the project has grown since the initial involvement as designer to Morgan Est for an enabling works contract. Now working direct to SSER across the whole site (and novated to Hanson Contracting in the Central Section), Fairhurst has provided a wide spectrum of design, supervision and Technical Advisor services including wind turbine bases, drainage, earthworks, tracks, operations buildings, substations, bridges and culverts. This valuable experience will help drive forward Fairhurst's renewables business over the coming years.
