Renewables Services
KLR supports renewable energy developers and operators with the civil engineering and site services needed to deliver and maintain solar and wind projects across Scotland. From groundworks, cable trenching and concrete base construction to perimeter security fencing and ongoing vegetation management, our teams bring the same safety-led, methodical approach we apply across rail and utility infrastructure to the renewables sector. We understand that renewable projects come with tight construction programmes and long operational lifespans, so our work is built to support both phases, from getting a site ready for installation through to keeping it secure, accessible and well maintained for years afterwards.
Whether you’re developing a solar farm, a wind site, or supporting infrastructure around either, KLR offers a single contractor capable of handling the groundworks and site services your project needs from start to finish.
Backed by over 10 years’ experience delivering groundworks, fencing, drainage and access services across rail and infrastructure projects, we bring proven civil engineering capability to every renewable site we work on.
Solar Farm Groundworks
We deliver groundworks for solar developments, including cable trenching, access track construction and site levelling ahead of panel installation. Our teams work to the programme and specification required by solar contractors, with experience handling the scale and coordination demands of utility-scale ground-mounted solar sites.
Wind Farm Access Tracks
Reliable access is critical for wind farm construction and ongoing maintenance. We construct and maintain access tracks and hardstanding areas needed to support turbine delivery, erection and servicing, working across the varied and often challenging ground conditions typical of wind farm sites.
Renewable Site Security Fencing
We install perimeter security and palisade fencing to protect solar and wind sites from unauthorised access, both during construction and once operational. Our fencing teams work to the security specifications required by renewable site operators and insurers, delivering a secure boundary that supports safe, uninterrupted operation.
Vegetation Management for Renewables
Ongoing vegetation control keeps solar arrays clear of shading growth and wind farm access routes clear and safe. We provide planned vegetation management programmes suited to renewable site operators, balancing operational needs with environmental responsibility across the site’s operational life.
Cable Route & Trenching Works
We carry out groundworks and trenching to support cable route installation, working carefully around existing services and site constraints. This includes excavation, reinstatement and coordination with electrical contractors to keep the wider project on programme.
Concrete Bases & Foundations
We construct concrete bases and foundations to support turbine, inverter and substation equipment, working to the load and specification requirements of renewable installations. Our teams handle base construction as part of the wider groundworks package, delivering a solid, compliant foundation for critical renewable infrastructure.
