Each turbine base consisted of 400m3 of concrete and 40t reinforcement, reduced from 600m3 through value engineering of the base configuration. Site roads and crane pads were constructed using a combination of Geogrid and recycled Type 1 due to the poor estuarine ground conditions. A sub-station building was constructed above flood level on a 3.5m high mound constructed using recycled and site won material. The building was of brick/block construction and consisted of 2No. Control Rooms, 2No. HV Switch Rooms and 2No. meter rooms.

A new 320 space car park was also constructed on a brownfield site consisting of significant earthworks and drainage works prior to the construction of a tarmac surfaced car park adjacent to the main railway line. The final scheme was the dualling of a 1km stretch of the main A370 route into Weston. This project involved dealing with 2000m3 of contaminated arisings taken to a remediation facility and large volumes of earthworks on a cut/fill balance along the narrow scheme adjacent to a busy retail park. The works were completed with minimal disruption to the public and involved significant amount of public liaison. Construction was phased to ensure traffic flows and local businesses were not affected including the construction of a new roundabout on the line of the existing road which maintained 2 lane traffic by diverting traffic onto a temporary road. Managing public perception was a key aspect of the project and recognized by scoring Excellent in the Considerate Constructors Scheme Assessment.
