Wind energy development requires careful planning, installation, and ongoing support. The WindConnect team helps developers complete the siting process and move projects toward completion a efficiently as possible. We coordinate with regulatory, legislative, technical, and legal experts to secure the site for construction.
Strategic planning is a key element when developing a wind turbine site. During this initial phase, WindConnect considers several aspects of risk critical to project success, including site conditions, strength of wind resource and energy estimates, preliminary design, transmission capacity and availability, and project financing support. Our team of professionals conducts extensive due diligence, performs environmental impact studies, completes all permit applications, and manages landowner relations so nothing unexpected prevents the project from moving forward.
As wind farm projects proceed, WindConnect offers a broad range of technical expertise to move development along. At some point during the site development, site engineering and construction planning begins. We are highly skilled when it comes to coordinating engineering and construction with development efforts. We prepare one-line diagrams and site layouts, conduct field constructability assessments, create schedules, and develop detailed construction estimates in preparation for engineering and construction efforts.
