Wind farm construction is a very specialized process, but it requires common products and services, many of which can be found locally. Apex will be selecting a Balance of Plant (BOP) contractor to build the Rocky Forge project, and this contractor will be responsible for hiring individuals and subcontractors to complete the project.
By joining Apex's Local Vendor Program, you will ensure that your company's name and contact information will be provided to the BOP contractor before they select their subcontractors and crews.
The typical construction duration for a wind farm is approximately 9-12 months from the start of construction to the commercial operation date. The work consists of upgrading and building new stone roads, forming and pouring large concrete foundations, installing underground electrical systems and overhead high voltage transmission lines, constructing a project specific substation, erecting the wind turbine tower and generator, and completing the mechanical and electrical connections. In addition, there are other general or community needs. To learn more about the types of services that are needed to support wind farm construction, visit our Building a Wind Farm page.
