The Infrastructure Behind The Infrastructure

18 September 2026

Every substation, battery compound and solar development depends on robust civil and structural engineering.

When people think about energy infrastructure, they often picture transformers, switchgear and battery containers.

What they don't always see is the engineering that supports it all.

At Alan Wood & Partners, our teams provide:

• Foundation design
• Transformer bund design
• Switchroom and control building design
• AIS support structures
• Drainage design
• Highways and access infrastructure

We've delivered engineering support on numerous grid connection projects, including 132kV substations, battery storage developments and renewable energy schemes throughout the UK.

Working closely with network operators (including UKPN, SSEN, SPEN and NPG) , developers and contractors, we help bring complex energy projects from concept through to construction.
