Dundee Strategic Spares Warehouse

Project: Strategic Spares Warehouse 
Location: Dundee
Client: SSEN Transmission

Global Infrastructure has successfully delivered SSEN Transmission’s second state-of-the-art operations warehouse. Located in Dundee’s Claverhouse East Industrial Estate, the project mirrors the success of the established sister site in Inverness and supports the resilience and efficiency of the north of Scotland’s high-voltage electricity transmission network.

Our team constructed the 7,500 sqm facility, which features heavy lifting capabilities, advanced storage systems, and enhanced security and monitoring technologies. Positioned to support the southern portion of SSEN Transmission’s network, the Dundee site will play a vital role in maintaining operational continuity and supporting Scotland’s clean energy ambitions.

Mark Fleming, Construction Director for Global Infrastructure said: “Following completion of the first 7,500 sqm operations warehouse at Dalcross earlier this year for SSEN Transmission, we are now delighted to have achieved full project completion, with the sister building in Dundee now also complete. This has been a significant project for Global Infrastructure, and one we’re extremely proud to have delivered. Like the Dalcross project, we engaged over 20 subcontractors, and all in, around 350 individuals played their part in bringing this facility to life. At peak, we had a workforce of around 90 people per shift on site. 

Mark added: “These flagship facilities showcase the capabilities of our team and supply chain to deliver not only locally but also out with our Highland base. We take great satisfaction in having delivered them to the highest standards of safety and quality, and they stand as a testament to the strong collaboration across all parties involved. We now look forward to continuing our partnership with SSEN Transmission on future critical infrastructure projects across Scotland.” 

John Baillie, Lead Project Manager at SSEN Transmission, commented: “Mirroring the high standards set in Inverness, the opening of our Dundee warehouse marks another milestone in our commitment to building a robust and future-ready transmission network. The collaboration between the team at Global Infrastructure and SSEN Transmission has been brilliant, and we’re so pleased to see this warehouse now come into use after several years of hard work and dedication by the whole project team.”
