Third and final police escorted convoy from Port of Dundee to Tealing to take place this Saturday

Updated: Jun 28, 2022

The third and final police escorted abnormal load convoy between the Port of Dundee and a construction site at Tealing is scheduled to take place on Saturday (3 July).


The convoy is part of works related to the Seagreen Wind Farm, which when complete will be located more than 27km off the coast of Angus. At 1,075 Megawatts, when completed, Seagreen will be the largest offshore windfarm in Scotland, capable of providing clean, renewable power to around 1.6 million homes.


The electricity generated by the wind farm is to be transmitted via subsea cables to a landfall point at Carnoustie where works are currently underway. Once ashore, the electricity will then be transferred via underground cables for approximately 19km over three cable circuits to the substation in Tealing.


The convoy on Saturday will deliver a transformer and is scheduled to leave the port at around 15.00 on Saturday with an expected arrival time at Tealing of between 16.30 and 17.00. The route is shown below:


Onshore Project Manager for Seagreen Wind Energy Limited, Steven Reid said:


“We’re pleased to be accepting delivery of the third and final transformer. Again, we’d like to thank drivers and residents for their patience while this delivery takes place. Public safety is paramount and in co-operation with Police Scotland, our team will do their very best to keep any disruption to a minimum.”


It is expected that the deliveries will take around 1.5 hours each to make their way from the Port of Dundee to the substation site at Tealing on Moatmill Road just off the A90.


The transport will consist of a tractor unit (Trojan) with a support vehicle in front and behind. The police escort will accompany the vehicles up to the turn off from the A90 into the site.
