Operational review RJ McLeod review
Capabilities Renewable energy infrastructure Enabling infrastructure for onshore wind and energy storage projects, including earthworks, foundations, access roads and substations. Often in remote or challenging locations, RJ McLeod supports wider OCU Energy programs by delivering pre-enablement works. Notable examples include South Kyle, Limekilns and Viking wind farms. Hydroelectric schemes End-to-end infrastructure delivery for hydroelectric schemes, including dam works, water intakes, pipeline routes and powerhouse developments – as demonstrated at Ben Mor and Glenfalloch.
Grid energy infrastructure Substation delivery programs, including integrated work with OCU Energy for the delivery of grid and generation infrastructure as part of the national energy transition program.
Hydrogen and grid stability facilities
Delivery of infrastructure works for green hydrogen production and synchronous condensers across the UK, collaborating with OCU Energy in strengthening grid stability and accelerating the transition to low‑carbon energy. Marine and port infrastructure Harbour infrastructure works, including berths, piers and coastal defences; examples include Ullapool and Scrabster. These capabilities enable renewable energy imports and support the wider energy transition in coastal and island communities.
Water/flood defences and drainage
Urban and rural flood risk mitigation enhances the OCU Utilities water market offering. Capabilities include embankments, retention ponds, culverts, flood walls and catchment management.
Roads and transport links Roads, bridges, and structural upgrades in remote and rural locations enable access for energy infrastructure. Dovetailing with OCU Energy capability delivery, in areas such as wind farm/BESS programs, trunk road realignments and bypasses.
Urban infrastructure and public realm
Targeted public realm works, including active travel routes, sustainable drainage and access improvements, are delivered as part of broader energy transition strategies. While a smaller part of the overall mix, projects play a role in enabling more connected, low-carbon communities.
