Wind Farm Logistics: Supporting Crawler Cranes on Remote, Unstable Terrains
Wind energy projects are expanding into increasingly remote and environmentally sensitive locations. While these sites offer strong wind resources, they also create significant logistical challenges for construction teams handling and managing large-scale equipment. One of the biggest concerns involves supporting crawler cranes on soft, uneven, or unstable terrain without compromising safety or project timelines. To Read More
Transmission & Distribution: Non-Conductive Composite Mats for High-Voltage Environments
Transmission and distribution projects require rigorous safety standards when crews operate near high-voltage equipment and on unstable ground conditions. Utility contractors, energy providers, and infrastructure teams often rely on durable ground protection systems to maintain safe access and stable working surfaces. In these environments, composite mats play a critical role in enhancing site safety, stabilizing Read More
SOLAR FARM CONSTRUCTION PROCESS: WHY TIMBER MATS MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The race for renewables is on, and solar power is one of the energy sources that has driven this boom in recent years. In fact, photovoltaic capacity around the world grew by 50% in 2016 alone, accounting for the highest net growth among all energy sources. Solar farms are transforming the way the world consumes Read More
HIGH LEVEL INVESTMENTS IN TRANSMISSION INFRASTRUCTURE BENEFITS THE U.S. FOR FORESEEABLE FUTURE
According to the Edison Electric Institute, there have been continued high level investments in transmission infrastructure, a trend that started back around 2013, and is expected to last through 2025. In its report, Transmission Projects: At A Glance, the institute signaled that while such investments have been considered high risk in the past, as long as Read More
WIND TURBINE CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS: TIMBER MATS LEND A HAND
Use of wind energy is on the rise – something evidenced by an increase in construction of wind farms across the United States. So much so that in 23 U.S. states, crews are currently carrying out wind farm construction projects, according to a report from the American Wind Energy Association in April. These new turbines Read More
