Carscreugh Renewable Energy Park HOME NEWS PROJECT BACKGROUND SITE INFORMATION HOW A TURBINE WORKS TIMESCALE BENEFITS CONTACT US Timescale Construction of the wind farm on Carscreugh Fell can be summarised in three phases (anticipated dates below): Phase 1 – Mobilisation and enabling works (including site junction construction and U80w upgrades) Phase 2 – Civil and electrical infrastructure works Phase 3 – Wind turbine component delivery and erection Phase 1 May 2013 to June 2013 This will primarily involve the delivery of the mobile plant, setting up a temporary compound and commencement of works on the site junction installation. Work at this stage will also include the upgrades to the U80w passing places. Phase 2 July 2013 to December 2013 This involves the construction of civil and electrical infrastructure and will include the following stages: main construction compound; access track construction; turbine foundation construction and switchroom building construction. This phase will have the most frequent vehicle movements with HGVs carrying materials and equipment. It is proposed that the most intensive period of vehicle movements will be when the concrete is poured for the turbine bases. Phase 3 August 2013 to Spring 2014 This involves the delivery and erection of turbine components will commence following substantial completion of phase 2. The developer is working with other wind farm developers in the immediate surrounding area to ensure that the Carscreugh turbine deliveries do not coincide with any other wind farm deliveries. However, if it is unavoidable, the Local Roads Authority will be contacted to propose mitigation measures and ensure the effects on local road users can be minimised. It is anticipated that the first turbines will begin generation in December/January and be fully operational in spring 2014. During the operation of the wind farm there will be very low levels of traffic, likely to be a maximum of 100 visits per annum.
