Heidelberg Materials UK has supplied its PowerCrete heat-conducting concrete to help maximise power capacity at the landfall connection to Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm. Inch Cape is set to be one of Scotland’s largest offshore wind farms and will generate enough green energy to power 1.6 million homes when it becomes fully operational, which is expected to be in 2027. Running power cables underground generates heat and, as the temperature rises, so does the resistance, resulting in capacity loss. Using PowerCrete as a bedding material and infill material at the landfall site, enhances heat dissipation to maximise the power capacity of the underground cables. Heidelberg Materials supplied 242 cubic metres of PowerCrete from its Glasgow concrete plant.
