Over a six-month period, Sarens PSG worked around the clock to help to build a 660-metre concrete diaphragm wall of Ardersier Energy Transition Facility’s quay wall installation project.
It was awarded the contract by Bauer Technologies to deploy a fleet of eight powerful crawler cranes, supported by a team of 24 specialists, with an array of cranes ranging from 100 to 400 tonnes, specially adapted for port development.
Steve Clark, managing director at Sarens PSG, said: “This is a world-class facility under development. What sets it apart is the vast expanse of land behind the quayside, which offers unparalleled potential for large-scale assembly, manufacturing, storage and deployment. This will support both the ScotWind and INTOG build-out and will rival any existing or planned facility in the UK.
“We’re proud to partner with Bauer Technologies on this landmark project. Our team has been fully committed to upholding the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and reliability, ensuring that the Haventus site is ready to meet the demands of the offshore wind sector in the coming years.”
Sarens PSG’s involvement in the Ardersier project represents a multi-million pounds contract win for this phase, with the company having invested £12m in cutting-edge equipment and technology over the last two years to meet growing demands in green energy.

“As well as being the largest UK brownfield port redevelopment project, the project has received praise for its environmental sensitivity and for delivering real benefits to the local community. It aligns perfectly with Bauer’s sustainability ideals and ethos, and we are proud to have developed these practices on what is undoubtedly a transformative project.”
