Cundall

Cundall, an engineering consultancy, supported Green Volt's 2025 programme of geological investigations along the onshore cable route in Aberdeenshire. The role covered geotechnical interpretation of complex Grampian Orogeny ground conditions including Crinan/Tayvallich subgroup metamorphosed sedimentary rocks and psammites, with site-specific borehole and ground model work to inform detailed design and underground cable burial specifications. Principal Geotechnical Engineer David Simpson at Cundall is named in the developer's 1 April 2026 article describing how the team identified pegmatite formations initially mis-recorded as weathered granite, and how Cundall's specialist input was central to building a defensible ground model in an area of relatively sparse historical survey data. The work supported the next stages of detailed cable route design.
