RMT, engaged in wind energy development, engineering and construction, said that it has concluded construction work at the Locust Ridge II wind farm, located in the Schuylkill and Columbia counties of Pennsylvania.
Once operational, the wind farm will provide 102MW of clean energy to Pennsylvania residents, enough electricity to power over 25,000 homes, said the company.
As balance-of-plant contractor for the Locust Ridge II wind farm, RMT’s WindConnect team provided construction of the civil and electrical services for the site, including building the substation/ operation and maintenance building, collector system, and access roads to wind turbine locations; upgrading and improving existing mine roads; and constructing crane pads, crane paths, wind turbine erection, tower foundations, and associated civil infrastructure.
The Locust Ridge II wind farm is owned by Iberdrola Renewables, which also owns the neighboring Locust Ridge I, constructed by RMT’s WindConnect team in 2005-2006.
Frank Greb, vice president of RMT, said: We are proud to be able to use our experience providing wind energy development, engineering, and construction services to construct the Locust Ridge II wind farm.
