As the search for green energy alternatives grows, more communities are looking toward the sky. However, this brings the challenge of transporting 92-ton turbines and related equipment over substandard roadways and poorly-rated structures to hundreds of locations within a wind farm.

As modern wind farms begin to dot our landscape, local counties and municipalities must thoroughly evaluate and sometimes upgrade their infrastructure to handle the large overloads that accompany construction of a wind development.

Our team is ready to assist you with the analysis and rating of structures, bridges, and culverts that must bear these loads. This not only safeguards your infrastructure assets, but also allows for safe and efficient construction by avoiding delays and emergency repairs to damaged bridges. Additionally, our long-term relationships with many Illinois counties allow us to expedite the approval process for infrastructure upgrades as necessary. Previous successful projects include but are not limited to:

• Cayuga and Minonk Wind Development, Livingston County
• Minonk Wind Development, Livingston and Woodford Counties
• Kelley Creek & Pilot Hill Wind Projects, Iroquois, Kankakee, and Ford Counties
• Pleasant Ridge Wind Project, Livingston County
• California Ridge Wind Project, Vermilion County
