Morrison Balfour Kirkpatrick JV 

AB 2000 were the main preferred supplier of plant to the Whitelee project.  AB2000 supplied heavy crushing plant, articulated dumptrucks excavators and cranes.  Our plant was involved in the production of rock sub base to construct approximately 90km of access track, and move the c 1.8 million m³ of rock which was being quarried from the borrow pits across the site, making it one of the largest ‘quarries’ in Scotland. The turbine base construction involves pouring approx 56,000m³ of concrete, which involves approx 6,300 tonnes of reinforcement.

Whitelee is the largest windfarm currently in construction in Europe with 140 no. turbines, which differ slightly. 100no. have towers that are 65m high, and 40 no. have towers that are 60m high. Each turbine has three 110m blades despite being different heights. The completed windfarm will generate approx 322 megawats of electricity enough energy to power 200,000 homes.
