Inverness Strategic Spares Warehouse

Project: Strategic Spares Warehouse 
Location: Dalcross, Inverness 
Client: SSEN Transmission 
 

Global Infrastructure successfully delivered a cutting-edge, multi-million-pound operations warehouse for SSEN Transmission – a vital new hub designed to bolster the resilience and efficiency of the high-voltage electricity transmission network in the north of Scotland.

Located at Inverness Airport Business Park, the 7,500 sqm warehouse features heavy lifting and storage facilities, enabling SSEN Transmission to keep the network operating effectively, with enhanced security and monitoring in place around the new site. The facility is strategically positioned to optimise logistics and support the company’s expanding transmission network across the region.

David MacDonald, Managing Director at Global Infrastructure, said:

“This has been a significant project for Global Infrastructure, and one we’re extremely proud to have delivered. We were fortunate to be appointed at a very early stage in the procurement process, which allowed us to work closely with SSEN Transmission from the outset and help shape the successful delivery of this facility. Throughout the 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.

"This flagship facility not only supports the north’s electricity network and Scotland’s transition to net zero, but also showcases the capabilities of our Highland-based team and supply chain. We’re delighted to have delivered it to the highest standards of safety and quality, and it stands 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, including the delivery of an identify facility in Dundee.”
