SHETLAND ISLANDS - With multiple units arriving from different countries in such a remote part of the UK, this was not an easy task.

Allelys has announced that they have delivered and installed eight transformers across two separate projects for the Kergord Energy Substation and Viking Energy Substation on the Shetland Islands.

According to Allelys, the first project involved transporting four transformers using a 15-axle modular trailer from Lerwick Port to the Kergord Substation. For the second project, the four transformers arrived via barge into Rotterdam, where they were transhipped via mobile crane onto Allelys 2 bed 4 trailers and ferried over in pairs to Immingham.

"With multiple units arriving from different countries in such a remote part of the UK, this was not an easy task. These multi-phase and multi-modal projects really showcased our range of equipment and techniques, incorporating the team's dedicated project management and engineering services over several months," said Zac Smout, Senior Project Manager at Allelys.
