Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK has completed 27 turbine foundations for Innogy’s Contract for Difference-backed 96MW Clocaenog Forest wind farm in Denbighshire, North Wales.
The company will now move on to cabling works and prepare the site for deliveries of turbine components.
Each foundation required an average of 640 metres cubed of concrete and 90 tonnes of reinforcement steel, Jones Bros said.
It used on-site batching plants to mix concrete on location in order to reduce vehicle journeys to and from the wind farm.
Jones Bros site agent Rhys Roberts said: “I’m very proud of the team for its work during the last eight months to deliver these turbine bases to a high standard.
“Having our own batching plants has been hugely beneficial to not just ourselves but to local residents, who have experienced less traffic on the roads than they would have if we transported it in.
“For us, we were able to produce material at a rate to suit operations, and we could also monitor production for consistency and quality which helped to avoid unnecessary delays.”
Jones Bros has also built 8km of new access tracks, upgraded 20km of existing tracks, and installed crane pads at the project site.
