Construction works on site have been completed.
Due to the size of the components needed for the wind farm there will likely be some disruption to travel arrangements for local communities and Strathrory Windfarm would like to assure communities that all efforts are being made to keep this to an absolute minimum.
The transport of the turbine components is carried out by a experienced hauliers using specialist vehicles that travel at reduced speeds on certain routes. These vehicles are able to lift and tilt the components to avoid trees, lamp posts, road signs and to negotiate bends and road undulations where possible.
The turbine components they are classified as abnormal loads and must be escorted by specially trained Police Scotland officers.
The abnormal load deliveries are now complete.
We would like to thank you for your patience during the delivery period. We are grateful for all the feedback and support from the community, Community Councils, Transport Scotland and Police Scotland.
Offsite road works update:
All offsite reinstatement works are now complete.
The delivery route of the abnormal load convoy is shown below.
The components are manufactured with the final road journey taken into account as much as possible. After disembarking from ships at the Port of Nigg, transportation by road is the only realistic option for the turbine components due to their size, shape and weight.
The proposed route is the route consented by the Scottish Ministers.
This can be found above and on the Facebook page which is linked above. These will be updated regularly should there be any changes. Strathrory Wind Farm understands that there is disruption to local traffic and thoroughly appreciate the patience of local residents that are inconvenienced during the transport phase.
In any case of emergency services trying to get by the convoy the driver will move aside to let them pass. In addition, all 999 services are made aware of these abnormal load movements and in the event of a 999 call their respective control rooms would be in touch with each other over where the load is and they will co-ordinate vehicle movements accordingly. This co-ordination is made more efficient as our abnormal load convoys are escorted by police.
While the roads are not technically closed during the abnormal load deliveries, there will be delays and passing opportunities are limited. We appreciate and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. We recommend you consult the route map and timetable on the website that show delivery movements and we hope this can be useful in planning various appointments.
