BAM UK & Ireland have opened a new office in Scotland as energy decarbonisation programmes drive growth.
The new facility is set to provide a hub for BAM employees to deliver major civil engineering and construction projects.
The construction and engineering firm opened its new office in Kilsyth, North Lanarkshire, to focus on decarbonising the UK’s energy network as well as delivering major public buildings and infrastructure projects.
Key features:
- 2,000 sqm
- Space for 140 employees
- Investment in parking, with 34 EV chargers
- Upgrades to testing labs to bolster ground engineering capability
BAM’s engineering projects include work on behalf of SSE to create new converter stations, helping to transfer energy from offshore and remote wind generators to the National Grid as the UK’s energy network decarbonises.
The construction team leads the development of critical community facilities, including sustainable education and healthcare premises such as Dunfermline Learning Campus in Fife and a new £72 million net-zero carbon health and social care facility in Parkhead, Glasgow.
BAM claims modular construction has lowered the project’s environmental impact by reducing waste, energy usage and truck deliveries to site.
The firm saw increased turn turnover in 2023 with €3.14 million in revenue, up slightly from €3.13 million the year previous.
BAM UK & Ireland CEO, John Wilkinson, said: “The team at our Kilsyth hub is playing a crucial role in delivering Scotland’s green energy transition as well as critical health and school facilities for local communities.
“This office provides our people with a fantastic base to do important and exciting work. It will allow us to contribute significantly to decarbonising the energy sector and aiding Scotland’s transition to net zero, which is something we can all be really proud of.”
