Douglas West Extension

Project: Douglas West Extension
Location: South Lanarkshire
Client: Nordex Group
Date: February 2026

Providing cranes and skilled wind turbine technicians, Global Wind Projects have completed the final turbine installation and is winding down the mechanical and electrical completion, at Douglas West Extension in South Lanarkshire for valued client Nordex Group / Nordex UK & Ireland, which is supplying twelve N149/5.X – TS125 turbines for the construction of Capital Dynamics’ new onshore wind farm.

Ryan Burke, Global Wind Project’s General Manager, commented: “A huge credit must go to our installation personnel, who have so far handed over 11 of the 12 WTGs to the client. Of these, 7 turbines were delivered snag free at the client’s quality walkdown, and the team is aiming to add an 8th with the final turbine. The commitment and dedication of our teams, not only to meet project timelines but to achieve this to the highest possible safety and quality standards, cannot be overstated. We extend our thanks to the entire team for their efforts.”

Throughout the duration of the project, over 35 installation and crane personnel have been assigned to site, with the deployment of Global Wind Projects’ LG1750 and 230t cranes supporting the lifting and assembly of over 144 components.

The erection team have already mobilised to it next project where we will support our partners BMS Heavy Cranes with the installation of 3 turbine on their Cumberhead West project, on behalf of Nordex.
