A MAJOR transport operation delivering parts to one of East Ayrshire’s largest renewable energy projects has officially wrapped up.

Halifax-based logistics firm Collett & Sons Ltd has completed all deliveries to North Kyle Wind Farm, having successfully transported 441 turbine components to the site over the course of 11 months.

The company’s team managed the movement of materials from KGV Dock in Glasgow and the Port of Ayr to the development site, overcoming significant logistical and operational challenges.

The first turbines of the wind farm were installed back in September.

These five turbines near New Cumnock will be fully operational in October, with all 49 turbines at the former coal mining site, operated by Brockwell Energy, set for completion by this summer.

The cargo and freight company paid tribute to the drivers, project managers and site supervisors whose efforts made the work possible, and also thanked the partner companies involved.

A full case study and project video are expected to be released soon.
