Description
RAF Lossiemouth is Main Operating Base (MOB) in Scotland; a strategic air station providing interception capabilities for immediate defence of UK airspace and from which operations are mounted globally. During SDSR 2015, the UK Government announced an increase in numbers and types of aircraft to be based at RAF Lossiemouth, incl additional fighter and new maritime patrol aircraft. To support expansion of air operations and aircraft types there is a requirement to replace, upgrade and enhance the station’s infrastructure incl its electrical infrastructure. The key elements of the works referred to at II.1.4 are: • design, supply & installation of new 10MVA supply from the local grid, as detailed in Scottish Hydro Electrical Power Distribution PLC’s quote EQF813; • provision of additional standby generation capability to cater for new infrastructure and essential loads; and • replacement, alteration, diversion and relocation of existing HV + LV infrastructure and utility connections.
