Hydro Ness Wins Again!
The Hydro Ness Hydro Electric Scheme, situated on the banks of the River Ness, has added yet another award to the growing collection recently.
Everyone involved with the project, from the initial conception to the final realization of the finished project are absolutely delighted to have been honored with the prestigious “Small Project of the Year” Award at the British Construction Industry Awards held in London in October.
Moore Concrete are delighted to be among a host of local NI companies who played a huge roll bringing this stunning project together.
Hydro Ness is a 92kW Archimedes screw hydroelectric scheme and interactive visitor experience which will generate over 500,000 kWh of renewable energy each year.
As water from the powerful River Ness flows into the Hydro, it will pass through spiral blades forcing the screw to turn. Energy generated from the movement will be converted into electricity.
The electricity generated will feed the nearby Inverness Leisure Centre, providing roughly 50% of the site’s electricity demand.
Moore Concrete manufactured the precast elements for the project including, wingwalls, culverts, panels, L-walls & tables.
