The work was awarded to the Graham Lagan Construction Group JV by Associated British Ports (ABP) and will run for approximately two years.
The Graham Lagan Construction Group JV will be responsible for preparing the site for Siemens, which can then begin construction of its own facilities. The site is due to become fully operational by Summer 2017.

The work will be overseen by consulting engineers CH2M Hill who have been appointed by ABP to support them with the delivery of the project.
The scheme includes infilling one third of Alexandra Dock with 780,000 m3 of material and reclaiming 7.5 ha of the river to create a new 650m quay wall, which can accommodate three offshore wind installation vessels.
Construction will also involve dredging a new berth pocket, completion of earthworks and surfacing, building internal access roads and service networks, construction of a new Roll-on/Roll-off ramp and demolition of some existing buildings.
