The Project
RWE Renewables required works to be carried out to demolish an existing storage building, and replace it with a larger, modern structure. The new 675m2 would provide additional storage space for parts and materials to operate and maintain RWE’s 60-turbine Robin Rigg Wind Farm in the Solway Firth.
The new building would also feature the installation of solar panels, as well as an extension to the existing car park area, new drainage and the installation of new lighting and electric vehicle chargers.

Delivering Success
Working closely with the client, the Story team redesigned and simplified the car park layout to improve traffic flow and eliminate unnecessary kerbs. The team also removed existing flower beds and shillied areas, streamlining the landscaping into a clean, low-maintenance design. This left the client with an attractive and practical grassed seating area that’s easy to manage.
The Story Way
Story worked closely with the RWE team to make sure all works did not impact the day-to-day operations of the site. Following the dismantling of the existing
storage building, it was organised that the building would be received by Rebuild to support the growth of the CIC which promotes a circular economy and sustainability by taking surplus construction materials and putting them to good use.
