Kent Hills I & II Wind Farm Rehabilitation

Project Overview

The TransAlta Kent Hills Rehabilitation program involved the dismantling of 49 existing wind turbines, demolition of 50 foundations, replacing them with newly designed foundations and reassembling a combination of 50 V90 and V126 3.0MW wind turbines. As the prime contractor, Bird self-performed majority of the scope of work.

  

Our responsibilities included; crane pads, access road modification and maintenance, electrical de-energizing, collection installation, a lockout tagout program implementation, and essential testing of each wind turbine, foundation construction, foundation demolition and disposal, wind turbine generator dismantling and installing.
