Scope of Works
Working in partnership with engineering and EPC teams, Collins BCE delivered:

• Site Enabling & Bulk Earthworks
  Extension and grading of the compound adjacent to the existing GIS substation to support battery racks and infrastructure placement.
• Concrete Foundations & Equipment Plinths
  Reinforced base construction for packaged electrical switchgear, BESS containers, inverter stations, transformers, and control units.
• Drainage & Stormwater Management
  Sustainable drainage design ensuring environmental compliance and surface water attenuation around sensitive estuarine zones.
• Internal Access Roads & Hardstand Surfacing
  Durable haul roads and access areas facilitating installation logistics and long-term maintenance.
• Perimeter Security & Boundary Fencing
  Installation of palisade fencing, gates, and security provisions aligned with high-voltage facility requirements.

Delivered with Utility-Grade Precision
Operating adjacent to a live 110 kV connection and complex substation infrastructure, our team managed strict sequencing and safety practices. Civil delivery supported energisation readiness and integration with electrical EPC works under tight tolerances.

Supporting a Resilient Energy Grid
The Kelwin‑2 BESS facility delivers fast-acting grid reserves during frequency events and reinforces renewable energy flexibility. Collins BCE’s civil capability was instrumental to enabling this strategic grid asset at Tarbert.
