​DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHS

This section contains some of the thousands of photographs I've taken which document the construction process as there is much more to see than what appears in the digital drawings and films. I am grouping the photographs thematically although there is inevitably some overlap. I am grateful to those who have given me permission to include their photographs, who I credit as appropriate. It will take time for me to get these on the web site, so this section is very much a work in progress.  I have not updated these since 2023, although I have continued to document the construction processes which have moved from the actual Viking Energy Wind Farm to infrastructure related to the substation in Lerwick and the cabling required to link it to the Kergord Converter Station.

Extensive preparatory work was required for installation of the wind turbines and cable trenches.
