580 Tonnes of Transformers for Pathfinder Substation Project

Join us as we take you behind the scenes of Collett Transport's impressive Pathfinder Substation project! Watch as we successfully transported and installed four massive 145-tonne transformers from Buckie Harbour to the Blackhillock Beatrice Onshore Substation for GE Vernova.

In this video, we showcase the entire process from the arrival of the transformers at Buckie Harbour to their final installation at the substation. Discover how we used a 500-tonne TEREX DEMAG TC3200 crane for unloading, modular 12-axle flat top trailers for transportation, and 8-axle Self-Propelled Trailers for precise positioning. Learn about the detailed route surveys, permit applications, and even the construction of a temporary bridge over a culvert.
Watch as our expert team navigates tight site access and positions each transformer with pinpoint accuracy. Each transformer, weighing 145 tonnes and measuring 7.5 metres in length, 3 metres in width, and 4.3 metres in height, was transported in a convoy with a police escort, ensuring a smooth and efficient operation.
Collett Transport’s expertise extends beyond just transportation. Our team managed comprehensive engineering and preliminary works, including transport logistics, jacking and skidding procedures, and route surveys. With years of experience in heavy lift and transport, Collett ensures every project is executed with precision and safety.
