Sargent Corporation performed the sitework for a 57 megawatt wind farm project. The project included construction of 10 miles of access road and 38 2-acre pads for the wind turbine towers. Sargent crews did the foundation excavation and the underground electrical work associated with each tower.
This project required 375,000 cubic yards of site excavation, including 230,000 yards of ledge. About 131,000 yards of gravel was placed on the finished roadway and 128 acres of clearing was required for the project.
