Hydro Ness is without doubt a flagship for sustainability and has reinforced how valuable an asset the River Ness is, especially when it comes to renewable generation.

Hydro Ness is a flagship sustainability, self-financing project worth £2.67m, which has delivered a new 92kW ‘Archimedes Screw’ hydroelectric scheme and interpretive visitor experience located on the banks of the River Ness.

 

The Hydro Ness provides an engaging experience for all ages, using interpretation to promote several key messages across the site. We developed an interpretive experience through the new landscaped area, which includes crafted benches, interpretive panels, lighting, a tree grate around the ‘jubilee tree’ and interpretation for the buried time capsule.

On this project, I worked together with a great team of colleagues creating strong concepts and finalized designs.
