CONSTRUCTION RISK MANAGEMENT

Our team of experienced engineers can review and assess:

• Ecological planning conditions, Habitat Management Plans, Ecological Risk Assessment including cost provision for site budgets
• Access routes
• Turbine layout
• Grid connection and design
• HV wind farm design
• Ground / Site investigation works to check the adequacy of information to allow turbine foundation and wind farm infrastructure design
• Turbine foundation design and wind farm infrastructure civil design

This is a typical list but can be tailored to client requirements. The risks that are assessed include:

• Health & Safety
• Practicalities / buildability
• Commercial aspects

Additionally, the construction department can review the Turbine and Civil & Electrical contracts or tender documents, together with review technical requirements of any Power Purchase Agreements.
